I'm sorry! I don't use XeTeX and I don't really now, which
requirements must be met.

I tried to reproduce the problem on Debian unstable with
texlive-xetex installed, but not lmodern. I get a different error
message:
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/xelatex/euenc/eu1lmr.fd)kpathsea:
Invalid fontname `[lmroman10-regular]', contains '['
! Font EU1/lmr/m/n/10=[lmroman10-regular]:mapping=tex-text at 10.0pt

le: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.

l.100 \fontencoding\encodingdefault\selectfont
I seems that xelatex tries to use the fonts provided by lmodern w/o
reading the lmodern.sty itself.
I suggest an "Recommends: lmodern" to texlive-xetex. I don't see why
texlive-xetex needs lmodern in *all* cases and is unusable w/o it.
Is that OK for you? apt will install recommended packages by default
