[Mono-list] Install on debian fails

[Alexander Köplinger]

For Debian 8 (Jessie) you need to add a second separate repository for libdiplus as mentioned here: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#libgdiplus-debian-80-and-later-not-ubuntu

I just tried this in a clean Docker container and it works.
