Yeah, I was just noticing that. I'll wait a few more months to see if 
youtube-dl does an actual release, but long-term it might make sense to 
turn youtube-dl into an empty package that depends on yt-dlp.

Since they have different command-line arguments and people might be 
using youtube-dl in scripts, I do wonder if youtube-dl should remain in 
bookworm with a NEWS.Debian warning users to switch to yt-dlp, and have 
it become a dummy package in bookworm+1?
