Dear Release Team,
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?
The maintainer agrees with this idea (see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=781180#25 ).
Thanks very much.
