updating context is not that much related to debian;

- make sure that you have the latest latin modern fonts installed (can 
be fetched from ctan)
- then unzip the context zip in some local tree
- make sure that the stubs are ok (there are stubs in the zip)

the only debian specific thing (i guess) is the pdftex binary and 
context should adapt to that automatically
