 Does that mean that 1.00 is generally buggy in Debian, or just that 1.00
 does not work properly with special components in TeXlive?

1.00 is buggy by itself:

Version 1.01:

- Added textures support.
- Added text opacity option.
- Fixed bug in pgfbasesnakes.code.tex causing lot's of
  'missing = in nullfont' message in log file.
- Fixed bug that made plain tex mode unusable.
- Fixed missing pgfsys-vtex.def in FILES.
- Fixed wrong box placements in compatibility mode.
- Fixed SVG support to create legal xml.
- Moved documentation to doc/generic/pgf.

KIRBY MISPERTON (n.)
One who kindly attempts to wipe an apparent kirby (q.v.) off another's
face with a napkin, and then discovers it to be a wart or other
permanent fixture, is said to have committed a 'kirby misperton'.

So it is important that pgf be updated.  However, in my opinion the
correct solution would be to file an important (or even serious?) bug on
pgf.  And drop it from texlive.  Your personal documents can still be
fixed by installing pgf_1.01 in TEXMFLOCAL.

  Installing texlive-pictures solves this. Should texlive-latex-recommended
  depend on it then?
 
  That's one possibility. A recommends or suggests would probably be
  enough, though. After all its only one small component of texlive-latex-
  recommended that cannot be used without texlive-pictures. Another option
  would be to remove beamer and pgf from the texlive-* packages and
  depend/recomend/suggest the separate pgf and latex-beamer packages.
 
 Wasn't this the usual approach, anyway?  latex-beamer seems to be fairly
 well maintained.

$ apt-cache show pgf

$ grep pgf CHANGES.packaging

pgf should be updated or it will break *ALL* old documents when using
pgf-1.00.

latex-beamer is up2date.

I haven't come around to write bug reports for this ...
