I recommend against that. One important reason we install packages from
Debian is so that we *don't* need to manage and run arbitrary code from
upstream.
Doing that also breaks package tracking when a security or other update
is needed, losing another benefit of running the Debian package.
The Debian package ‘youtube-dl’ in Unstable is typically updated within
a day or two if YouTube breaks the interface.

I recommend downloading the *Debian package* of the new version when it
is available, and installing that. You will then continue enjoying the
benefits of running the program as packaged in Debian.
