Yeah, worked great, found this short instruction if someone else have the same problem: http://www.shupp.org/toaster/#debian

I can't say what THE correct way is, but I can tell you what works for me. I have the following lines in my ~/.bashrc file:
# see http://www.ctan.org/installationadvice/
export BSTINPUTS="${HOME}/.local/texmf//:$BSTINPUTS"
export TEXINPUTS="${HOME}/.local/texmf//:$TEXINPUTS"
Then I follow the conventions for the subdirectories there:
/home/adam $ tree .local/texmf/tex/latex/
..local/texmf/tex/latex/
|-- covington
| |-- covington.sty
| `-- covington.tex
|-- gb4e
| |-- cgloss4e.sty
| |-- gb4e-doc.tex
| `-- gb4e.sty
|-- harvard
| `-- harvard.sty
`-- qtree
`-- qtree.sty
This way my customizations are in my home directory rather than mixed in with the stuff that comes from the Debian packages, and they are easy to back up as well as to copy to another machine.
I also use this on a machine at work on which I do not have root access and which has some out-of-date LaTeX packages. The order of my BSTINPUTS and TEXINPUTS paths means that LaTeX will find my custom file rather than one in /usr/share/texmf/… with the same name.

Don't put them in /usr/share/texmf, because texmf "owns" that directory— anything you put there could be removed or overwritten as you install or update your TeX packages. Here's what to do:
Edit /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf, to make sure TEXMFLOCAL includes /usr/local/share/texmf.
$ grep local/share /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf
If you modified anything in /etc/texmf/texmf.d, then run update-texmf to regenerate /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf.
Now put your local TeX customizations into /usr/local/share/texmf.
Any time you change the contents of /usr/local/share/texmf, run texhash to update the filename database (ls-R).
The above is for system-wide customizations. Individual users who have private (TDS-compliant) texmf trees that they wish to use can either just put them in $HOME/texmf, in which case they'll be found automatically; or else set the environment variable HOMETEXMF to point to them. HOMETEXMF contains a :-separated list of texmf trees. No trailing // or : is needed. It can also include the syntax

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.

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.

Try adding the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and replace "testing" with your favorite choice of stable, testing, or unstable. It's unofficial .debs of mplayer, lame and other such goodies from Christian Marillat. You can also get xine from there, which is similar to mplayer.

> is there an alternative to mplayer with a debian package?
I used to use Mplayer (gmplayer) for everything, but for some reason it now wont play full screen… so now I use Totem for all my video stuff and it works great…. you can also use it for mp3's, etc. and get a swirly display in time with the audio…
Please note that Totem only seems available in testing and unstable (unless you can find a backport at www.apt-get.org ).
Johnny.
I don't think anyone mentioned that you can also snag kplayer from there. I think that's where I got it.
Package: kplayer Versions: 0.5.0-0.0 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.nerim.net_debian-marillat_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)
