I checked the reported legacy ROS Index docs path against the current ROS 2 docs.

Findings:

• https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/installation/Foxy/Linux-install-Debians/ currently returns 404.
• The referrer reported in the issue, https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/installation/, also currently returns the ROS Index 404 page.
• The current live Foxy installation index is https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Installation.html.
• The matching Ubuntu Debian page is live at https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Installation/Ubuntu-Install-Debians.html.
• The live page points its GitHub edit link to ros2/ros2_documentation on the foxy branch: source/Installation/Ubuntu-Install-Debians.rst.

I also checked the rosindex tree and did not find this old path as static content. One relevant clue is _config.yml has index_old_doc_paths: false, so this looks more like a legacy index.ros.org/doc/... routing/redirect issue than a broken page in the current docs source.

Narrow resolution options:

1. If old ROS Index doc paths are meant to remain supported, add/restore a redirect from the legacy path to https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Installation/Ubuntu-Install-Debians.html and from the legacy installation index to https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Installation.html.
2. If those old paths are intentionally unsupported, this can probably be closed as a legacy URL and users should be directed to the docs.ros.org/en/foxy/... pages above.
