Hmm, that is strange.

texmaker on Debian (and so I guess Ubuntu), does not depend
on texlive-binaries:

$ apt-cache show texmaker
...
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libpoppler-qt5-1 (>= 0.24.5), libqt5concurrent5 (>= 5.0.2), libqt5core5a (>= 5.5.0), libqt5gui5 (>= 5.2.0), libqt5network5 (>= 5.0.2), libqt5printsupport5 (>= 5.0.2), libqt5script5 (>= 5.0.2), libqt5webkit5 (>= 5.0.2), libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.2.0), libqt5xml5 (>= 5.0.2), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libsynctex1, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), texmaker-data (= 4.4.1-1.1)
Recommends: aspell, ghostscript, netpbm, psutils, latex-beamer, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-lang-english, hunspell-en-us | hunspell-dictionary | myspell-dictionary, asymptote
Suggests: texlive-lang-all
...

checking the equivs of 2016 I ee all texlive related entries, including
latex-beamer, provided by texlive-local version 2016 if built from the
correct equivs file.

Can you not just simply try to remove texlive-binaries, and if that
works, all is fine, if not, it wil tell you that this is not possible
because foorbar is depending on it:

$ dpkg --purge texlive-binaries
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of texlive-binaries:
 texlive-math-extra depends on texlive-binaries (>= 2016.20160513.41080-5).
 texlive-latex-base depends on texlive-binaries (>= 2016.20160513.41080-5).
 texlive-xetex depends on texlive-binaries (>= 2016.20160513.41080-5).
 ......
$

All the best

Norbert
