Bug#489003: vdr-dbg: Package is not installable on most architectures due to dependency on valgrind

vdr-dbg installs a script in /usr/bin, that runs valgrind with vdr. It's
main purpose is to detect memory leaks and similar problems in vdr plugins.

This should not prevent vdr from transitioning to testing. valgrind is in
testing as well.

But maybe your suggestion isn't that bad after all, because vdr-dbg could
very well be used with gdb on other architectures. I will make the script
check for valgrind and make valgrind a suggests.
