Hi!

the attached patch downgrades the dependency on youtube-dl and documents in 
README.Debian that this package is required to use the "watch youtube videos" 
feature in freevo. 

If missing youtube-dl, the user will just see "Caching 0%" and then it returns 
to browse screen -- much like freevo currently does with the currently non-
working youtube-dl anyway. This isn't an ideal user experience, but is 
probably as good as can be done this late in the freeze as we don't want to 
have invasive changes in freevo or introduce strings that require translation. 
(perhaps youtube-dl should never have been in wheezy so that things don't 
depend on it?)

cheers
Stuart
