I do not understand this. First, it should be fix released for non-
specific version of ubuntu as I cannot update in Saucy.

Second, there is nothing automatic about this. The user must explicitly
download a new version (and even provide the password). If he does not
trust it, he should not do that.

Would not an explicit warning be better then just removing the option?

i.e.: 
1) sudo youtube-dl -U
2) there is no way to know that youtube-dl is not evil, do you know what you 
are doing? yes/no

This just means that youtube-dl gets useless early (or even before) the
distribution is released as I do not think it qualifies for a SRU. Then
the users must download the software from upstream defeating the purpose
of a distribution.
