See https://lists.debian.org/debian-multimedia/2018/06/msg00087.html Unfortunately I won't have a lot of free time to work on the transition until DebConf. Hopefully I can do some more work on it then :) [...] > I had the good fortune at the time to have both the multimedia > libraries and youtube-dl > at the latest on debian testing.

I suggest you just override the pin.
