You need to run texhash (probably as root) after putting it there. (You
can also create a texmf.local in /usr/share, put it there, and tun texhash
if you like.) For reasons I don't entirely understand, (La)TeX uses
pre-hashed directory trees instead of searching on the fly. See man
kpsepath for more information.
