Yes, the Debian/TeX Live packages which *do*not*contain* ConTeXt.
That is why I wrote:
Have you seen context files under the Debian/TL hierarchy?
The ConTeXt files, as well as many other files, are left out of the
Debian TeX Live packages just *because* they are packaged separately.

Whatever you mean with "the debian tree". All the packages related
to TeX would install into /usr/share/texmf. That is all.

Simply: Move all the files currently under /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist
into /usr/share/texmf.
The split was from times when we had tetex and texlive, but that is
long gone, and I am quite sure there will be no other packaging
of TeX related files soon.
