As I have assumed, the Latin Modern fonts are the default fonts for Xetex documents – as important as the Computer Modern fonts for Latex documents. See the documentation of Xetex: “fontspec defines a new LATEX font encoding for its purposes to allow the Latin Modern fonts to be used by default.” However, with the ‘fontspec’ option ‘[cm-default]’ it is possible to ignore the Latin Modern fonts, but this option is not default (!). Therefore and because the Computer Modern fonts are included in package ‘texlive-base’ so that these fonts are included in the most minimal Texlive installation, I think the ‘lmodern’ package should not only be a recommendation of ‘texlive-xetex’ but a dependency.
