Bug#1026866: libmpv1: please drop youtube-dl versioned recommends



Package: libmpv1
Version: 0.34.1-1+b5
Severity: minor

We are planning to drop youtube-dl from the archive, as it has been replaced by yt-dlp (see https://bugs.debian.org/994151 for more details). The mpv package already recommends yt-dlp, but the libmpv1 package has an old versioned recommends for youtube-dl (>= 2014.11.26). This is likely a legacy thing, but that recommends should either be completely dropped (if the need for it was only due to a bug or incompatibility related to an ancient version of youtube-dl), or replaced with a recommends on yt-dlp.

I don't anticipate the youtube-dl -> yt-dlp transition breaking libmpv1 either way, which is why this is filed as minor; but it would be good to clean up these references to youtube-dl before the bookworm+1 release.
