The procedure for stable updates is here: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#upload-stable Basically, we need to file a bug to release.debian.org including the patch we want to apply to the package to fix the bug. Considering there are fairly large changes between stable and testing, I am not sure the change would be accepted. But then again, this bug makes the youtube package basically useless in stable so it should either be removed from stable, or updated to the testing version. I have bumped the bug severity accordingly. I am using the backports version, which works well, but the point of backports is not to provide such critical bugfixes, but backport special functionalities that do not warrant a full stable update. I will file a bug against release.debian.org to start that conversation. A. -- Voter, c'est abdiquer - Élisée Reclus
