People deciding to use local copies of programs that are in Debian is
clearly unsupported. I, and to my knowledge quite some other people,
have Install-Recommends disabled by default, and this will break your
package entirely. This said, youtube-cli *does* need youtube-dl. If
someone decides to use their own copy, they can also use equivs or
something. The Debian package system is about using Debian packages, and
that's what we expect our users to do.

Please remember updating it to the get-orig-source method. The method
you describe in your original README.source is *invalid* as it creates a
wrong orig tarball (containing .git/ and everything). The only valid
method to fetch the source for your package now is debian/rules
get-orig-source.
