If you're perfectly happy with Debian. Perhaps consider Distrobox to get access to newer packages from literally any other distro.
If you want something closer to Debian, perhaps consider SpiralLinux. It's basically Debian with some quality-of-life additions. It also does a good job at giving access to other repositories very easy through some of their GUI tools.
You'd have to tell us which packages you wanted to dig deeper. I can tell you're off-aim with yt-dlp. Per the instructions from the developers, if you wanted to use apt to download/update it, you're supposed to add the yt-dlp PPA and not rely on Debian's OR Ubuntu's repository. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/Installation
