Please make sure you have apt-listchanges installed, so that you see
important NEWS entries when you upgrade packages on your system.

This is also being documented in the release notes for bookworm:

Thanks, Andreas! I suggest we leave this bug open for people who don't
see the NEWS entry.

Exactly this was the idea why I did not closed this bug. I have choosen
the "right below RC" severity to leave it at least prominently visible
(even if I do not consider it really important).

BTW, I've swapped your (Andres) and my roles in d/control in Git
and I'd be happy to be dropped completely in the next upload if
there might be any need for it.

Kind regards
Andreas.

Thank you for your support. I did't realize, that youtube-dl was forked and
the package is merged to yt-dlp.
