Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4754

Description

youtube-dl was abandoned and yt-dlp is the most popular alternative, but there are loads of other forks but I do not know how relevant they are to us. Since youtube-dl has not got any updates since 4 months it might stop working very soon and another path is needed in private-bin so it can keep working with e.g yt-dlp. It might be counterproductive to just randomly add the 5 most popular (which is also hard to define) yt-dl forks into there, so what do we do? For now I got yt-dlp added into an override but it would be great if there would be some default solution since it will potentially affect many.

Potentially relevant: #4539

Since youtube-dl has not got any updates since 4 months it might stop working
very soon and another path is needed in private-bin so it can keep working
with e.g yt-dlp.

This is already the case since #4634. The yt-dlp config paths are missing
though, so I'll add them.
