Hello an youtube-dl current maintainer here. I'd like to write something as a vote for this issue.

There were several times, that a new version
with important fixes (fix for YouTube downloading, etc.) was released, and
lots of people came to our issue tracker for "broken" YouTube downloading
because the Ubuntu version was not updated yet. As a result, I hope Ubuntu can
keep it updated. Of course users can also install from PPAs or maintain youtube-dl version themselves. I
just feel the official package integrates with the system better, and IMO users are likely to try official packages first.
