Hmm,
my bad, this only appears on the backported package:
% dpkg -c yt-dlp_2023.02.17-1_all.deb | grep -F yt-dlp.1
-rw-r--r-- root/root    39545 2023-02-18 00:37
/usr/share/man/man1/yt-dlp.1.gz
% dpkg -c yt-dlp_2023.02.17-1\~bpo11+1_all.deb | grep -F yt-dlp.1
-rw-r--r-- root/root   133597 2023-02-28 06:30
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/share/man/man1/yt-dlp.1
Maybe the build tools are behaving differently on Bullseye.
The patch I suggested makes the man available on the backported deb file
built on Bullseye.
Do you think applying it would make the man available in both cases?
Thanks,
Fab

Hello,
provided patch just adds the debian/yt-dlp.manpages
The file only contains "yt-dlp.1" (built in the root dir).
This allows one to use `man yt-dlp`.
Umm. Did you try that now? Perhaps you should.
unit193@Loki:~$ dpkg -L yt-dlp | grep man1/yt-dlp
/usr/share/man/man1/yt-dlp.1.gz
unit193@Loki:~$ man yt-dlp | wc -l

unit193@Loki:~$ apt-cache policy yt-dlp

As you can see here, the package already ships a manpage. Perhaps you
installed from somewhere else?
You can also view it online:
