README: add a list of binary packages
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Debian/Ubuntu are known to have bup packages in their archives, thanks
to Jon Dowland.

Also, a NetBSD package is currently being built, as was shared by Thomas
Klausner. However, it is still not found in the official NetBSD packages
search engine.
