That shouldn't cause any problems, that's exactly what apt-get and dpkg
are for.

If you've got problems, I can't imagine any situation where they get
better by choosing texlive-full.

Maybe you should rather ask this on the Ubuntu TeX list, or submit a bug
via launchpad. But the usual steps to debug this are independent of the
distro: As root, run
kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf
grep mpost `kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf`
grep mpost /etc/texmf/fmt.d/*
