Lilypond itself doesn't have (La)TeX as a dependency -- see:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Requirements#Requirements
However, the lilypond-data package in Ubuntu lists several TeX-related
dependencies/pre-dependencies, as you can see by typing
aptitude show lilypond-data
at the command line:
-------------------------------------------
Package: lilypond-data
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
Version: 2.12.2-1
Priority: optional
Section: universe/tex
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <address@hidden>
Uncompressed Size: 11.3M
Depends: texinfo | texlive-texinfo, python, python-support (>= 0.90.0)
PreDepends: texlive-base | tetex-bin
Recommends: lilypond (>= 2.12.2-1)
Conflicts: lilypond (< 2.2.2-2)
Description: LilyPond music typesetter (data files)
LilyPond is a music typesetter, an automated engraving system. It
produces beautiful sheet music using a high level description file as
input.
This package contains architecture-independent data files for LilyPond.

-------------------------------------------
Can anyone explain why these dependencies should exist (unless it's just
that Debian/Ubuntu people have got things wrong)?
Best wishes,
