[PATCH wayland-web] raspberrypi: mention Raspbian packages

[Daniel Stone]

Thanks! For what it's worth, weston-launch isn't actually in the
package you get right now, due to comedy version number mishaps (first
forgetting how Debian deals with date numbering, then the person with
the board I asked to fix it forgetting that it was now 2013 and not
2012), but that'll be fixed tomorrow I expect.
