A rather safe thing to do is to unzip cont-tmf.zip to a location that you trust to be OK. You can unzip it to either /usr/local/share/texmf/ or to .texlive (check if one exists) and then regenerate formats in the "debian way". If you put files to /usr/local/share/texmf/, the next, the next update (does it ever happen?) will update those files (uninstall might possibly leave some files there if they were not present in your previous installation). If you put context to your local tree, you only need to make sure not to forget about it. If you upgrade context with debian later, the tree in your home will have precedence. But in general there should be no problem updating some files on debian. If you don't trust ctxtools, just do it manually. You can also run rsync from minimals.contextgarden.net to update context files instead of downloading and extracting the zip from pragma.
