It also lacks TexLive package manager "tlmgr" for updating which is the recommended way instead of using apt-get or aptitude.

It sounds to me like you'd be happier with another distribution. Now might possibly be a good time to either switch, or learn how to better control Debian's package management system. There are other alternatives you have yet to explore.

Some of this, sections 8-12, read correctly, applies to you as well:

I'm not going to tell you what you should do regarding your TeX dilemma, or even suggest it, but I do recommend you completely familiarize yourself with all pertinent information before you go ignoring everything, and carving out your own path.
The more you know, the more you Debianize.
P.S. Debian isn't your problem, TeX is.
