In a terminal, write:
dpkg -l |grep maxima
to see the Maxima packages that you have installed. Then use the
command:
dpkg -s maxima-package-name
(where maxima-package-name is each one of the packages found on the
previous step). Look for the information on the "Suggested packages" and
"Recommended packages" to see if you have all those installed.
Developers who pack .deb packages have a tendency to consider essential
parts of a package as secondary; in some deb packages for Maxima all
modules in the share category and all the documentation are considered
non-essential and thus come in other packages which are not required by
default.
