I made some improvements in the documentation based on your
comments. Please find the changes in http://deb.li/30t7A

alien and fakeroot are both build dependencies for the instant
client packages, but not for libdbd-oracle-perl itself. As long
as you build the instant client somewhere else, you don't need
those extra packages to install libdbd-oracle-perl and they
don't provide extra features either.

Both sentences were added too. See the changes above.

Thanks!
