AFAICS we cannot set a default. It's just inserted alphabetically to the
combo, and the first item is chosen (that's why I added a hint to
select "PDFLaTeX" in the description window).
- Inserting pdfpages options to LaTeX is senseless because it promise a
feature that is not available with LaTeX but only with PDFLaTeX. Therefore
I suggest to remove "LaTeX" from the options combobox when the External
inset is pdfpages.
It's also available with VTeX that relies on the LaTeX, not the PDFLaTeX
format, AFAIK.
The free version of VTeX (Linux/OS2) ist dead.
However, you always run vlatex, its _default_ output is pdf.
