I suspect the whole page needs fact-checking as well as an edit for
readability.

Try:-
# apt-get install awesome awesome-extra
awesome-extra includes the vicious widgets

You want the widgets you'll need the 'recommended' awesome-extra package.
I've edited the page, but I:-
;haven't installed the packages
;don't trust the rest of the page
;note the page could use some more editing for readability
So if you do install awesome it'd be appreciated if you edited the wiki
page and replaced those instructions for Ubuntu with realistic, tested,
information for Debian.
