Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: get-iplayer

get_iplayer has a self updating option where it will go off to the
upstream website to get the latest version. This should be disabled in
the packaged version.

 --update, -u                     Update get_iplayer if a newer one
exists

a...@wopr64:~$ /usr/bin/get_iplayer -u
