youtube-dl is one of those packages that needs to be frequently kept up to date with upstream in order to be consistently useful. The version currently in jessie (2014.08.05-1+deb8u1) is failing for many Youtube downloads (see for example bug #781180). The package maintainer has uploaded a newer upstream version (2015.02.28-1) to unstable which resolves the problem; please could this be added to jessie-updates so that youtube-dl can work well in jessie before the next point release?
If someone provides a source debdiff for a proposed package, which has been tested on Jessie, then we can certainly look at that.
As per the initial announcement (referenced in every mail for a release to *-updates), packages have to be approved for and uploaded to proposed-updates first; we don't simply copy packages from unstable.
