$ apt-cache search picasa
kipi-plugins - image manipulation/handling plugins for KIPI aware programs
python-gdata - Google Data Python client library

kipi-plugins is due to the picasa export plugin.
python-gdata:

  pydoc gdata.photos.service

shows some interesting stuff ('pydoc gdata.photos' mainly refers you to
it for documentation)

I didn't have time to play with it or find any useful usage of it for 
downloading, though.
