Which, btw, seems not to deal properly with maps, formats, engines,
all these niceties ..

The script in your link simply unpacks the texlive tlnet package.
But there are a set of post actions defined in the tlpobj that need
to be taken.

Title:
  texlive-latex-extra should depend on texlive-fonts-extra

Status in texlive-extra package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is not the same thing as bug 1225697 but it's closely related.

  That bug is supposedly fixed in Debian, but (unless the Ubuntu
  packages differ in a significant way) I doubt it.

  The situation now is arguably worse, for the people that (like me)
  weren't using particular features/fonts/styles in their documents,
  since with the latest version of Ubuntu, it now suddenly fails to
  compile.

  This is because packages like moderncv (which comes from texlive-
  latex-extra) requires fontawesome (which come from  texlive-fonts-
  extra), but apt is not aware of this dependency.

  (The best solution would be to have a more granular system rather than
  huge texlive packages... I guess something like the new Nix Texlive
  system:
  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/typesetting/tex
  /texlive-new/default.nix#L1 )
