When they buy back $500 million of shares, they no longer have to pay dividends on those shares.
yes, paying of $500 Million of debt would save interest, but it would not save as much interest as the saving in dividend payments.
Also, in future years dividends will be spread amongst a smaller number of shares, so dividends per share will rise.
