Upstream author prefers keep them separated, so IMO it's a right practice keep 
them in separated packages as well. Regarding your second point, probably 
youtube-dl won't support Google download, due to Google video allows direct 
download just clicking a button.

In the future, I agree that could be interesting create a metapackage to 
provide all flash-movie-downloaders available.
