The kernel fetch URL in rv64 VM workflow used to point to a URL like
https://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/<version>.deb, this URL is essentially just a reference into a live pool of used images by current releases, when no relase references it it gets garbage collected out of existence.The URL can be replaced by a snapshot URL which is more stable.
Test plan
The CI is green again.

Long Term
For elegance/de-duplication reason, we should perhaps use what riscv-32 uses, which is https://github.com/moste00/riscv-minstack, a self-hosted minimal build of linux, open SBI, and busybox. RV32 must do this because it has no choice, as almost no mainstream linux distro publishes pre-built images for rv32. RV64 should probably exploit this and also depend on the same build, possibly after transferring the repo to Rizinorg.
