How do I install Graphite on Ubuntu 13.10?

Ubuntu 13.10 now includes graphite-web package. But how should I set up Graphite, after installing the package? I only find Ubuntu 12.04 tutorials, which of course don't use the .deb packages. I'd rather not stumble through all the steps myself trial-and-error style.

... and immediately after posting I remembered to check /usr/share/doc/graphite-web/README.Debian which seems to have comprehensive instructions.

In addition to the README, I installed the graphite-carbon package, and enabled it by modifying /etc/default/graphite-carbon (change false to true), then running sudo /etc/init.d/carbon-cache start. After that the daemon was listening on tcp port 2003.
