Package: git-annex
Version: 10.20221003-2
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 yt-dlp (which is an almost* drop-in 
replacement for youtube-dl). Your package has a "Suggests: youtube-dl". 
Please test your package with yt-dlp and update the suggests to replace 
"youtube-dl" with "yt-dlp" once you've verified that it works correctly 
with your package.

Thanks,
Andres

 * When yt-dlp is supplied the "--compat-options" option, it will 
revert to youtube-dl compatibility for command-line arguments. See the 
yt-dlp man page for more details.
