Dear Maintainer,
Debian Stable keeps a very outdated version of youtube-dl which no longer works because Youtube has changed, leaving youtube-dl dysfunctional. I believe this is one of those cases where the package in Stable needs to be upgraded, otherwise the program remains dysfunctional and the user has to take the situation into their own hands and upgrade the program manually, defeating the purpose of a package.
