Hi Raúl,
Luk van Claes told me a while ago that there is no realistic chance for
youtube-dl to enter testing:
youtube-dl needs to many changes during the lifetime of stable to stay
usable, that's why it was decided in coordination with the maintainer
that the package should not be part of the next stable release.
Letting it get into testing would mean to have it in the next stable
release.

Hello:
I've seen the package is prevented entering testing. But I can't
understand
what's exactly the
reason why it's been held. I think the package deserves being on testing
since
it's the best tool
to download youtube videos: small, the dependencies are tight to a
minimum and
it's well maitained.
I'd therefore appreciate being able to use this package in the testing
and
eventually stable branch
of Debian. I guess this is also support by a lot more of users.
Regards,
