Clarify LTS tool pointer

<santiago> thanks for improving the documentation about dla-needed.txt
  with commit 397d4313d893185602fa1d051acb43194b1a5490, but I belive
  this should be part of the freexian paid contributors' documentation

<santiago> I would remove them from dla-needed. LTS is an open
  project, and not everybody has access to the freexian repository nor
  tools

<Beuc> why are you documenting 'freexian available' as the main tool
  to check Xla-needed, and 'find-work' as a "secondary way"? I just
  explained to you that it lacks time-weighing, plus all the changes
  we recently made (lts-do-call-me support, etc.). For all I know
  'freexian available' is left-over code that should be dropped.
