Packages that are packaged separately from TeX Live in Debian put their
files in /usr/share/texmf, whereas packages that are created from TeX
Live put them in /usr/share/texmf-texlive, so this is expected (well,
depending on the package).

lmodern is packaged separately from TL, so this is normal.

texlive-full is a meta-package, so it surely cannot install files that
are also installed by the packages it depends on.

No idea, but if you didn't use the KDE Font Manager as root, you can
always create a new account to eliminate any customization made by the
KDE Font Manager for your tests.
