Make Debian (and derivatives) section more accurate

* Include the conventional copy & paste installation instructions that
most Ubuntu (and derivatives) users expect.

* Request that users test their operating system's app store, because
a potential Appstream bug would be highly visible and would negatively
affect initial user impressions.  Such a hypothetical bug should
ideally be found and fixed before Ubuntu 22.10's freeze, and certainly
before Debian 12's.

* Mention the backports repository, because otherwise users will
manually install packages for sid/unstable/testing/bookworm/12 onto
stable/bullseye/11.  These packages will be nonfunctional, will
malfunction, or will break the other package's dependencies.

* Remove link to Developer Information Tracker, because it may also
mislead users into creating FrankenDebian, and because it is not
supposed to be a user-facing page.
