Andreas, were you planning to do an upload? Because I was about to open
a bug against ftp.debian.org to request removal of the package now that
bookworm is released. I can wait if you want, but I don't see much
point in keeping youtube-dl in sid.
I'm happy to request this change for a bookworm point release (via
bookworm-proposed-updates), though, and do the upload. Seems like a
pretty simple change, I can't imagine release managers opposing it.
