I run Debian 5.0 in a dual boot machine.
When I ran "apt-get install youtube-dl" as root,
it says "could not find package youtube-dl".
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
Will the youtube-dl install only in DEbian 6.0?
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).

If you cant find youtube-dl then there is an beautiful plug-in available for
Firefox called as "FlashGot".
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.
