Looks like yt-dlp is going to start requiring Deno for downloading from
Youtube:

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14404

Please read their [FAQ](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14404#issuecomment-3330980464).

TL,DR: yt-dlp will support using Node instead of Deno, using --js-runtimes=nodejs flag.

I think Debian's yt-dlp will need to change its default value for that flag, to avoid annoying issues.
