I suspect that many 'newer' distros are being maintained by people who are
clueless WRT LaTeX and/or have a user-base that is clueless WRT LaTeX, so
these sorts of packaging problems go unnoticed / unreported. That is, these
are people who have been completely 'turned' to the 'dark side' of WYSIWYG
'word processing' as their document preparation methodology -- Open/Libre
Office gets installed by default and is on the distro CD/DVD, but TeX and
LaTeX is deep in the repository somewhere and installing *all* of it is not
allways a trivial thing, and may involves tracking out 'missing' dependencies.
I've never had to install TeX or LaTeX as part of a 'post install' process for
RedHat / CentOS -- it gets installed as part of the 'Applications/Publishing'
group, which is a base install option.
