  • Update subsection to "Scheduled software/network upgrades" & corresponding page fragment
    • Previous HTML fragment was outdated, so it was broken
  • Remove outdated directions for Debian Buster
    • Current info for installing Monero on Whonix/Kicksecure indicates there is no Debian package source method (via a third-party APT repo)
    • The monero CLI package should be available via APT on supported versions of Debian

* Update subsection to "Scheduled software/network upgrades" & corresponding page fragment
    * Previous HTML fragment had typo, so it was broken
* Remove outdated directions for Debian Buster
    * Current [info](https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Monero#Installation_Sources) for installing Monero GUI for Whonix/Kicksecure states there is no Debian package source method
    * Also on same page is an [appendix](https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Monero#monero-gui_Debian_Package) about how former Debian repository would be [supported](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/adrelanos-debian-package.html) for two years
        * This seems to have stopped by the end of 2023

I also found Gentoo Monero overlay package to be missing (user deleted their account) and Arch Linux (via Community packages) (replace it with this)

@jermanuts I agree with the points you brought up. I can make the corresponding changes.

It seems that for Arch Linux that the package has moved from the Community to Extra packages, which seems reasonable and straightforward.

However, I don't use and don't have experience with Gentoo. Although I would prefer to update the info for Gentoo, I would only be able to delete the outdated info - and any new info would have to be added back.

* Update to correct URL for Arch Linux
* Delete outdated info for Gentoo
