Fixes [YOCTO #4912]
Throughout the manual set, various areas talk about the Linux
distributions we support and the required packages among other
items that are tied to a distro. Debian had been missing except
from the list in the ref-manual that shows the releases we test
against.
I have attended to all areas where Debian needs to be mentioned
now.
