Searched for worker in the testing repo

Hi waxhead,

thanks for reporting this bug. Unfortunately, worker depends on AVFS,
which has not been in testing for quite some time now, see these two bug
reports:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1068264
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1061322

Worker cannot be updated until AVFS has resolved those bugs. Moreover,
I've tried to disable AVFS support and build worker without that, but
the build fails -- so it seems that AVFS is needed, after all.

Regards,
Tobias
