Well, there's no corresponding TL07 lines, since Debian-packaged TeX Live will 
have its binaries in /usr/bin. So your TL09 will come first.

If you want to check that the correct TL installation is used, there are two steps:

- run "which latex" in a command line: if the result is
/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-linux/latex, then you PATH settings are good in 
you shell
- but, depending on your grapical environment, your PATH for GUI apps may be 
different. To check that, open your favourite GUI LaTeX editor (not from a 
command line), compile a document, and have look at the pdfTeX version in the 
log, which should be:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009)
