I've added python3-certifi to openshot's hard requirements -
necessitated by it being only an optional requirement for
python-requests. It all builds and runs fine now.

There's a slight hitch in that python3-certifi doesn't require python3
in it's .info file - I've emailed the maintainer about it so it should
be fixed soon. Until then, any build queue calculators may not generate
a correct queue. Luckily, I followed my own advice (in openshot/README)
to just load python3 before anything else, so it worked despite the
slightly dodgy  build queue.
