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?
