The "correct way" is to put the files required by each package and/or class
in its own directory. The memoir class, for example, is supposed to go in
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/memoir
However, just because it's the "correct way" doesn't mean one must do it
that way.
Indeed,
but fellowing the expected way greatly simplify the maintenance of you box
and may save you a lot of time.

Seems to work; others have suggested editing config
files, but believe they are already set up correctly by the debs.
They are. The TeTeX configuration file already has entries
for /usr/local/share and ~/share/. The only requirement seem to be running
texhash afterward.
It's also possible to configure a private TeX configuration: the TeX FAQ has
the details on all these methods.
