Check the official package database <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/>
for the package. If *any version* of it exists, *do not* submit the
package. If the official package is out-of-date, flag it as such.

I'm not sure whether my case is an exception to this rule or not.

Unlike other programs, most new youtube-dl bugs come from changed websites,
not changes in youtube-dl itself. For example if YouTube changes how videos
are delivered, we have to update relevant codes and ask users to update as
soon as possible.
