git dependency is unnecessary

beta releases are not accepted, according to 8ffdbad#r334546272

I understand the policy regarding beta releases. However, FreeTube has used the -beta version suffix since 2019 (starting with v0.7.0) as part of its versioning convention, rather than indicating an early-stage project. It has been actively maintained for years, has over 21k GitHub stars, and is packaged by several distributions.

Since upstream does not currently plan to publish non-beta releases, would this situation be considered an exception, or is the "no beta releases" policy applied regardless of a project's maturity?

actually I don't know, it's up to void-packages maintainers to decide.
didn't know FreeTube marks every release as beta.
Probably it'll be declined because they explicitly stated that the project is inmature yet, so there are practically no stable releases of it at all, breaking the "no beta releases" policy
