I have sucessfully used the following way:
- Remove tex-live-2009
sudo apt-get remove texlive*
(kile gets uninstalled too)
- Install tex-live-2012 (http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html)
- Create modified kile deb package without dependency to old tex using the following shell commands (and then install it)
srcpkg=kile_2.1.0-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
dstpkg=kile_2.1.0-1ubuntu1_no_texlive_amd64.deb
apt-get download kile
ar x $srcpkg
tar xzf control.tar.gz
# now remove all the tex-live dependencies
pico control
tar c post{inst,rm} md5sums control | gzip -c > control.tar.gz
ar rcs $dstpkg debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.lzma
sudo dpkg -i $dstpkg
As both Debian maintainer of TeX Live and author of tlmgr, I would like to state my personal ideas about it:
First, with the Debian native packages of TeX Live there will be in foreseeable time no tlmgr available. Even if it will be available, then only for managing TEXMFHOME or TEXMFLOCAL (for the sysadmin) (by using the user mode patches for tlmgr which are badly outdated at the moment).
On the other hand, it might not be necessary to have tlmgr available. Package installation, removal and configuration is done by the APT family (apt-get, aptitude and respective GUIs). Package search can be done with apt-cache search. That leads to the following suggestions:
For normal users, that are users who are not developers of (La)TeX/Font/etc packages, nor play with the latest font developments (esp. otf math fonts), for these users it is better on Debian/Ubuntu to stay with the native packages instead of installing your own copy. Especially if one does not know exactly about basic sysadmin tasks (PATH search priority, permissions etc), since if you don't know it is bound to create problems.
If you are developer, or have experience enough with both basic sysadmin tasks, using TeX Live upstream together with either a proper equivs package for texlive, or (disk space allowing) double installation.
Furthermore, if you are using Debian testing or sid (and if it exists something similar in Ubuntu), then after release of wheezy I plan to do monthly updates of the texlive packages based on the current tlnet status. Thus even Debian people would come - with a short delay - to latest packages.

is available on CTAN as<CTAN>/macros/latex/contrib/citeref/citeref.sty
; it's not on TeX Live because the file shows no licensing notice whatsoever, so a non free license must be assumed in order to comply with the guidelines on free software.You can't use

for installing it; however it's easy to install it manually with the following shell commandsThe first command can also be
