Description
In the first section, it reads:
On Debian/Ubuntu, you are advised to install ...
$ sudo apt-get install binutils libproj-dev gdal-bin
Optional packages to consider:
...
gdal-bin: for GDAL command line programs like ogr2ogr
...
gdal-bin is advised and optional? Should it be remove from the Optional packages to consider section?
I'd submit a patch if this is a mix up, otherwise, feel free to close.

Technically speaking, only the libgdal* library is required. Unfortunately, the exact package name changes in almost all distro versions (libgdal1-1.7.0, libgdal1h, libgdal1i, libgdal20…). We might simply remove the gdal-bin recommendation in the optional list.
