Description

Currently, Gitea suggests using the command pip install --extra-index-url <gitea-url> <packagename>. The --extra-index-url is susceptible to dependency confusion attacks, see: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8606
This suggested command also does not match the documented command which uses the --index-url <gitea-url> --no-deps flags.

This should be mentioned in the web-ui to make users aware of the potential security risks from using this for private packages.
