Hm, no. If you really install a file locally (i.e., do not create your
own local Debian package) the advice in that link (or actually in
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=wherefiles) still
holds. It's the "or" part, though:
/usr/local/share/texmf/
Additionally, the same information (including a hint for HOMETEXMF) is
in /usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/README.Debian.gz
