README: Remove direct reference to debian packages (#7796)

We respect and appreciate the work made by the packaging team downstream
in Debian, however it seems that the package is deviating in a way that
I'd like to remove the direct reference from our README:

- The debian package is deviating from upstream in multiple ways:
  - Some Service discoveries are missing (Azure, Kubernetes)
  - The lock file is disabled and the flag has been renamed
  - The libraries are not at the same release
  - The new UI is not implemented
- We have no control over the backports and the quick availability of
  updates
- There are other distributions with different packages and we do not
  include them either
- I expect Debian users to look in their distribution and just see the
  package there 'as usual'
