Bug Description
The 1.0 API is being deprecated on April 30, 2015.
[Impact] Depending on how facebook decides to handle the deprecation, there's the possibility that creating facebook accounts from Ubuntu Online Accounts will just stop working, if our OAuth request (which uses deprecated parameters) gets declined.
[Test case] Until the deprecation actually takes place, we won't be able to reproduce the bug. According to the Facebook official documentation, the v1.0 API will stop working on April 30th, 2015:
https:/
[Regression potential] Very low: the new Facebook v2.0 API is already active, and we've been using it in Vivid without issues. A quick smoke test (just create a Facebook account from the System Settings -> Online Accounts pane) is anyway advised, to be absolutely sure.

I tested it in utopic-proposed and it works fine.
Note that I didn't test this in trusty-proposed (the package has not been uploaded there yet), but anyway I don't expect it to be any different there.

I tested the fix also in trusty-proposed, and everything works fine: I could create a facebook account, and then I tried the photo search in the Dash, which showed me recent photos from facebook.
