How about removing the ancient texlive 2009 from Ubuntu, and advising people to 
install Tex Live 2011 directly from here: http://www.tug.org/texlive/
The completely obsolete version you ship with Ubuntu is much worse than 
nothing! It forces novices into using buggy versions of TeX packages, although 
these bugs were fixed years ago. All this "wait 2 years and we'll make a 
monolithic Tex Live package for you" is just bullshit! Either get your shit 
together and package things in a reasonable time, or admit that you're not able 
to keep up with the rate at which Tex Live, and stop confusing everyone with 
obsolete packages.
