Hm, pabs thinks we should drop the wrapper stuff and just do a proper
transition (and that we have time for that before the January freeze).

I'm ambivalent. Youtube-dl has 3 reverse deps (mkchromecast,
python3-moviepy, and youtubedl-gui), and another 23 reverse
suggests/recommends.

Thanks for the script! We still haven't seen a youtube-dl release and
it's pretty clear the way that things are headed, so I've gone ahead
and prepared the package for becoming replaced by yt-dlp:

Andreas & others, any thoughts/comments on this before I upload?
