Hm, they should be.  Where are they exactly, and which command doesn't
find them?  

kpsewhich --format='type1 fonts' font.pfb 
or
kpsewhich --format='truetype fonts' font.ttf

should do.

Hm, 

tetex-base (3.0-11) unstable; urgency=low

  [...]
  * Install files in TEXMFDIST, i.e. /usr/share/texmf-tetex, and depend on
    tex-common (>=0.12) [frank]

But that should not affect you.  (The TeX Policy Draft is in
/usr/share/doc/tex-common/, interesting part is 3.1)  TeX Add-on
packages keep installing their files in /usr/share/texmf/.
