Not sure what happened to the Securing Debian Manual, but it's 404-ing now and causing our markdown link checker CI to fail, so just remove it from the blog.

this should also be fixed in my Debian mirror PR but LGTM anyway


## Why do we need it?
Previously, OSV.dev [relied](https://google.github.io/osv.dev/data/#converted-data) solely on Debian Security Advisories (DSAs) and Debian Long Term Support Advisories (DLAs) for Debian related vulnerability information. While these are official sources, they only cover issues that have been formally [acknowledged and patched](https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/dsa.en.html) by Debian. This left a blind spot in our data coverage – unfixed vulnerabilities, where the security issue has been reported but a fix has not been made available yet in Debian.
