Status in “youtube-dl” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Please sync youtube-dl 2010.04.04-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

The youtube-dl currently shipping in Ubuntu can't handle a recent YouTube
redesign, and is so essentially useless. Without this sync, there's no point
shipping the package at all.
The sync will fix LP: #485442, #555002

This version will hit testing in a day or so, and the Debian Maintainer for it believes it's the best version for lucid (see comments).

Upstream doesn't ship a changelog.

Changelog entries since current lucid version 2009.09.13-2:

youtube-dl (2010.04.04-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    + allow grabbing videos from vevo.
