Bug#1024222: celluloid: please change recommends from youtube-dl to yt-dlp (or drop it completely)

[Patrice <duroux.patrice@orange.fr>]

Hi,

Same opinion on my side: it could be removed.
Concerning the proposal to upgrade to version 0.24 (see #1024098), it's the same
thing since the source code of celluloid doesn't correspond so much anymore:

$ rgrep "youtube" celluloid-0.24
celluloid-0.24/flatpak/io.github.celluloid_player.Celluloid.json:          "name": "youtube-dl",
celluloid-0.24/flatpak/io.github.celluloid_player.Celluloid.json:          "make-args": ["youtube-dl", "PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3"],
celluloid-0.24/flatpak/io.github.celluloid_player.Celluloid.json:          "post-install": ["install youtube-dl /app/bin"],
celluloid-0.24/flatpak/io.github.celluloid_player.Celluloid.json:            "url": "https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl.git";,
celluloid-0.24/README.md:- youtube-dl (optional)

I don't think that this flatpak json file has any effect on the debian package content.

Thanks,
Patrice
