This took me a little while to figure out, but it was actually really easy.
So, once again, a post to store it on the interwebz and help others :)

# Make a new dir and move into it
mkdir srcds && cd srcds
# Download hldsupdatetool
wget http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
# Make it executable
sudo chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
# Install lib32gcc1 which you need to run hldsupdatetool.bin
# using a 64bit vesion of Debian or Ubuntu
sudo aptitude install lib32gcc1
# Run the updatetool
./hldsupdatetool.bin
# Let it update itself
./steam -command update
# Install TF2 (or any other game)
./steam -command update -game “tf” -dir .
