Thanks Sanjoy for this help, i was wondering how to install new
.deb context packages made by N.Preining but was blocked by 0.25 version
of tex-common on ubuntu/edgy.

I've noticed that on the first lines of debian install, one should add tug
repository to /etc/apt/sources.list.

Maybe it will be good (for low-end/copy-paste minded users like me) to
tell to **update** (and not upgrade) after adding those entries and how to
add gpg key to apt (that it's was retuned after such a command)

I'm not modifying the corresponding wiki page because I don't feel of
mature help in that field.

Thanks again
