Looks like it's not packaged for Debian 5. But youtube-dl is just a
single python script that you can download from
http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/download.html

Here's the direct link for the latest version, if you want to wget it:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/raw/2011.09.30/youtube-dl

Python 2.5+ is the only requirement for youtube-dl and it should work
everywhere Python 2.5+ is installed including Debian 5 (or even
Windows for that matter).

That's fine except for the fact he would not be able to schedule an
automated downloading from a shell script or chain it with other
command line tools.
