oh, no! no TeXLive2011 in 12.04 after all?
@jbicha, what does it change that the packages are huge or that the package it is in main? The main changes in TeX2011 are in the additions of new and awesome tex-packages, not in the core programs and core packages. I doubt that any documentation relies in the new tex-packages, so it is not to expect that something will be broken.
Besides TeX is a system know for its stability and the main programs are orders of magnitude more bug-free than standard software.
An updated TeXLive distribution is a deal breaker for academic users.
It is the real pity that TeXLive 2011 is not making it to 12.04, but PPA will also be greatly appreciated. I wish I know how to help setting up a PPA.
