I get an error when I try to create a Lyx document with an index

I found out that for amsbook and other ams document classes the
\usepackage(makeidx) line is unnecessary and generates an error
if added to your tex document.
I tested this by generating the .tex file from my .lyx file (using
Latex (pdflatex))
and then commenting out the line in the .tex file:
\usepackage(makeidx)
With this line commented out the problem goes away.
The problem is of course that Lyx adds this line to the .tex file
if I create an index. So I cannot prevent this from occurring.
I am using Lyx 2.3.2 and Debian 10 OS.
Is this fixed in Lyx 2.3.3?

Try putting "provides makeidx 1" in Document > Settings > Local layout.
This will hopefully dissuade LyX from adding the redundant \usepackage
command ... maybe.
