Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  What happens -> I open the Personal file sharing preferences dialog via system-preferences or via nautilus, and Im told that the network sharing feature can not be enabled because the required packages are not on your pc.
  I, as a tech user, went to synaptic, found the package, looked for its recommends and got the functionality.
  A normal user wont be able to do so, and so a button to install those packages is needed for usabilty's sake.

  ----------------------------------------------

  Desired resolution:

  - Change the "Sharing Options" text in them Nautilus right click folder menu to "Local network share"
  - Change the 'Share' tab title text in the Nautilus 'Properties' window to "Local network share"
