I followed the advice of izx on how to install TexLive 2012 using the texlive-backports PPA. Before I started I removed all TexLive-related packages. The installation finished and everything seems to work fine. The only thing I noticed are some warnings in the output of the installer. Here is an excerpt of the output:
Warning: Old configuration style found in /etc/texmf/updmap.d
Warning: For now these files have been included,
Warning: but expect inconsistencies.
Warning: These packages should be rebuild with tex-common.
Warning: Please see /usr/share/doc/tex-common/NEWS.Debian.gz
Warning: found file: /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10lmodern.cfg
There are more of that kind in the rest of the output:
$ sudo apt-get install texlive

If you want to enable the map files with this new file,
you should run updmap-sys or updmap.
Please have a look at the NEWS.Debian file. The following is from this file:
In your case it should be sufficient to install the latest version of lmodern, which is 2.004.2-1 for Quantal. After that you run
update-updmapand the warnung should disappear.
