The current problem is that normal users want the newest texlive (texlive 2009 is too old/buggy for now), and ubuntu maintainers does not want to upgrade it for various reasons which sound like bullshit (see above). Then people starts to discuss how to upgrade by themselves, and then some people jump out to say that this may cause unstability. What is the logic behind? All I can conclude is that Ubuntu is not a good distribution for user experience.
