Scott, dependencies should be kept at a minimum and for CUPS it is clear that it can be dropped. So that is nevertheless a valid report.
The real problem is that Ubuntu is not packaging TeX Live so people have to install TeX Live manually. This is provided with a good installer that plays nicely together with Ubuntu. However, the multiple offerings of gnu freefonts can resulting in core dumps of xelatex application. These kind of errors need to be avoided at all time, especially when they are know and what situations causes these. This will also be the case when Ubuntu will continue to repackage TeX Live and keep up with the lastest version. TeX Live is a package is somewhat volitile as it offers also its own updates (which dpkg should keep up with or allow for). However, the reality is that Ubuntu ships TeX Live 2009 while version 2011 is already out there.
