I don't get the “require management” part of this. Ubuntu has about
100 texlive packages, the texlive distribution offers about 47. The
SUSE guys went overboard and had (still have?) about 3500 packages ---
a former 2-hour installation with about 3-5 “texlive” packages (fully
automated) took 4.5 plus then...
Why don't you just install Ubuntu's texlive-full and be done with it?
Best regards
Robert
