Thanks, I uploaded that fix to both Utopic (14.10) and Trusty (14.04)
now. Trusty needs to be manually approved & verified first though, so
watch out for a call for testing soon.

** Description changed:

+ [ Description ]
+ 
+ When a document uses a Times font, the 'fi' ligature may not be
+ displayed. The TeX Gyre Termes font is aliased to Times in fontconfig
+ and does not display this correctly.
+ 
+ [ Development fix ]
+ 
+ Identical package uploaded to Utopic.
+ 
+ [ QA ]
+ 
+ Install fonts-texgyre, then download the PDF in comment #1 and check
+ that 'file' is displayed incorrectly (no 'fi') before and correctly
+ after.
+ 
+ [ Regression potential ]
+ 
+ Some files might display better with TeX Gyre Termes. Check a few Times
+ documents to see that they are still okay.
+ 
+ [ Original description ]
+ 
  The following pdf file does not display ligatures for "fi". Open the
  file and search for "file".

  I have attached an image of the rendering of the file, showing the word
  "file", though not displaying "fi".
