From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, in hopes that you're not just trolling, maybe you'll believe a dictionary that "stable" is ambiguous in this context. Because this is one of the listed meanings:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stable#Adjective
It also lists your meaning. I'm not saying that you're wrong. I'm saying it's ambiguous, i.e. there's two meanings that could apply here.
Well, and personally, I do feel like more people will interpret "stable" to mean bug-free here, because Debian is a piece of software to them.
