The discussion for this bug said, that ucs is rather not recommended, hence we won't put it back into texlive-latex-recommended. I lower your bug to wishlist and tag it wontfix. Feel free to close.

Bug#571679: texlive-latex-recommended: should include ucs.sty
Thank you for the reply,
Did you try
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
which is possible without -extra? Does this suffice?
Unfortunately no. In my code, which works OK with texlive version
2009-7, I have
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
Changing this to read only
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
will cause the following error:
ERROR: Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:∩ not set up for use
with LaTeX.
--- TeX said ---
See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H return for immediate help.
...
l.30 $A$ of $Y$ is closed in $Y$ if $A=C∩
Y$ for some closed set $C$
in $X$.
So it halts with error when hitting the character '∩', the first
non-ascii character in the file. Declaring the character manually
using
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{2229}{\cap}
Made this error go away (instead it complains about the next
undeclared character). But I'd rather not have to manually declare
all the ones I use when they are already handled by the ucs package.
Best Regards,
/Robert

I'm wondering whether any action will be taken concerning this bug.
In particular I would very much like to see ucs back in -recommended
since installing -extra and its heavy dependencies would overflow my
netbook's already crowded drive.
See above?
Best wishes
