it works fine without needing --compat-options or any argument changes.
The only thing I didn't test was the playlist stuff, because I don't

Thanks! We considered a wrapper script that adds --compat-options,
along with a module wrapper. The module wrapper is clearly a bad idea
(and there are packages that depend/recommend youtube-dl and then
import the python module), but I'm leaning against having a wrapper
script. As you mentioned
Can do, although patches would be welcome.
Here's a broader suggestion though. I can change the dependency to
"yt-dlp | youtube-dl", but how about if yt-dlp sets up an alternative
(using update-alternatives) for /usr/bin/youtube-dl to a little script
that tosses a "--compat-options" onto the front
Package: youtubedl-gui
Version: 3.0-1
Severity: normal
We are planning to remove the youtube-dl package in the next Debian
release, as upstream development had issues and has stagnated (see
https://bugs.debian.org/994151 ). The upstream package was forked, and
active development now happens in
