Jean-Baptiste: Are you sure you are looking at current versions of the packages (2009-5ubuntu0.2 in lucid-proposed, 2009-6ubuntu1 in maverick)? If so, after you ran
  $ apt-get remove --purge texlive-base texlive-binaries ed
  $ apt-get install texlive-binaries
the new dependency would have caused ed to be installed throughout the remainder of your tests. If it still didn’t work with ed installed, then you must be seeing a different bug.

The following programs in the texlive-binaries package use ed:
  /usr/share/texlive-bin/debianize-fmtutil
  /usr/bin/fmtutil
  /usr/bin/texconfig
  /usr/bin/updmap
  /usr/bin/mktexfmt
and nothing in texlive-base uses ed. So the dependency really is in the right place.
