I’m also affected by this bug. Maybe this is not necessary since the bug
report in the Debian bugtracker explains everything, but when I tried to
compile the following LaTeX file with xelatex for example:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}
\title{Bla}
\author{Alexander}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Hello.
\end{document}
I received the following error message:

Installing the lmodern package fixed it as expected. I never intend to use the
Latin Modern fonts anyway, so if there’s a solution to fix this bug without
adding the lmodern package as a dependency that’s fine with me. However, they
do seem to be the default for XeTeX as can be read in comment #42 in the Debian
bug tracker.
Apparently, the Debian packager decided to add lmodern as a recommends
to the texlive-xetex package today. I’m not sure what the way of doing
things in Ubuntu is, but hopefully Ubuntu could copy over Debian’s
changes to the package before Ubuntu Lucid is released, or at least as
an update ASAP (assuming here that the Ubuntu package is based on the
Debian package)? The fix seems quite trivial and it will prevent that
novice LaTeX users who don’t know how to fix this will encounter this
problem.
