Sorry, I don't know whether it's the "Debian way". I read some
TUG's documents about testing the texlive installtion on
http://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-390003.5,
"After installing TEX Live as best you can, you naturally want to test it out,
so you can start creating beautiful documents and/or fonts."
(...)
If you have installed the xetex package, you can test its access to
system fonts as follows:
> xetex opentype-info.tex
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926…
...
Output written on opentype-info.pdf (1 page).
Transcript written on opentype-info.log.
If you get an error message saying “Invalid fontname ‘Latin Modern Roman/ICU’…”,
then you need to configure your system so that XeTEX can find
the fonts shipped with TEX Live. See Section 3.4.4.
(...)
and I try it myself. All test passed except xetex. I am confused with
that though I can use
xelatex access some system fonts (eg: AR PL UMing CN, Liberation serif).
May be its a bug because when I add some lines to ~/.fonts.conf, the
test for xetex will pass.
Sorry, my English is not so good!

OK, I will try it. Thanks!
