The problem is the LTS version: either you use the up-to-date version
(raring? At least quantal!) and get texlive2012, or you use the LTS
version getting only security fixes and some tested bugfix version and
have a stable, but soon somehow outdated system... it was your choice
;-) Of course you /can/ install texlive by hand, if you don't care about
the benefits of a clean system package management system. Actually it is
often recommended, but somehow this is a bit contradictive to the idea
of LTS distros...

And works quite well. Only some of the short commands for compiling the
m-tx sources seem to be missing ("pmx2pdf" and "m-tx"), but the basic
commands prepmx (for m-tx) and pmx (pmx & tex for pmx -> dvi) are
working great.
