Two questions: what are you trying to use it with?

Just install the system texlive if you can spare the space.  That's the
least maintenance-intensive solution.  Then point your PATH variable to
look at your TeXlive binary directory first.

For AUCTeX, I have a command that lets me select between system and
various manually installed TeXlive versions.  If you are using Emacs, I
can post the code to do that here.

There is a command to tell apt that you have manually installed a
particular package. I can't look it up now as I am doing this on my phone,
but maybe someone else here will know it or you can Google it.

Thanks for both answers – I found it. For future reference:

sudo apt-get download rumor
sudo dpkg -i rumor*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f (for missing guile library)
