Fixes #284

The README links to https://packages.debian.org/buster/libgit2-dev, which now renders a Debian error page ("two or more packages specified (libgit2-dev buster)"). This points the link at the stable suite instead (https://packages.debian.org/stable/libgit2-dev), so it keeps working when a release is retired.

Verification: fetched both URLs with curl — the old one returns the error page, the new one returns the libgit2-dev package details page. git diff --check is clean; the change is a one-line edit to README.md.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The release-specific packages.debian.org/buster URL returns a Debian
error page ("two or more packages specified"). Link to the stable
suite instead so it does not break when a release is retired.

Fixes r-lib#284
