I can't speak to the proper debian spot (but would be interested in the
answer). For now I share a texmf tree with a WinNT installation on the
same drive, so I do one of two things:
1.) Install CTAN stuff in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc, or
2.) Install it in /theodor/texmf/tex/latex/misc where /theodor is the
mountpoint of my NT partition.
