Setup
TeXlive is contained in Debian proper, and part of the (upcoming) stable release etch (and of course of sid). Installation is easy: If you use Debian/unstable (aka sid) or Debian/testing (aka etch, soon(?) it should be stable), just call
apt-get update apt-get install texlive
Which will bring you: texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-context, texlive-latex-base, texlive-base. You can go on and install additional packages (like texlive-latex-extra) and additional languages (like texlive-lang-german) and additional documentation (like texlive-doc-en).
If you want to have a system closely mirroring a TeX Live DVD, you can install the texlive-full packages, which pulls in all packages. At the moment it can only recommend some packages I have updated (see above and below for updpkg), but later on - as soon as all these packages are fixed to work with texlive - thee will be real depends. I.e., do
apt-get install texlive-full
Install
After purging any other TeX distribution, such as teTeX:
apt-get remove --purge tetex-* texinfo
you have just to apt-get these packages as root:
apt-get install lmodern texlive-context
The texlive-context package is old compared to the context packages from Norbert Preining; see Debian_installation for how to use the newer packages.
Fonts
It may be of interest to get fonts as well:
apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended cm-super
TeXinfo
And to get back texinfo if needed:
apt-get install texinfo
