So there should be not be any conflicts with some other TeX disto.
Are you able to run the
various checks in the Debian wiki page?   I have the same packages on
my (amd64) system
and context is working.   Are you using 32-bit or the 64-bit Ubuntu,
gnome or kde?  When I run
luatools --generate I get more files:

LuaTools | fileio: scanning path '/usr/share/texmf'
LuaTools | fileio: 8540 files found on 612 directories with 310
uppercase remappings
LuaTools | fileio: scanning path '/usr/share/texmf-texlive'
LuaTools | fileio: 17385 files found on 2747 directories with 722
uppercase remappings

maybe some package dependency was missed.  I use TL2010-pretest from CTAN, but
ended up with texlive  because something else (kile?) depends on it,
so it is quite possible
something dependency was left out in your installation.
