Does this new LyX package depend on the the TexLive in Ubuntu's repositories? Ubuntu's version of TexLive was out-of-date for a long time, so I installed TexLive 2009 directly from its net installer, to use its latex package manager. As a result I've had to install any latex related programs (LyX, kile, etc) from source to prevent apt from installing its own version of TexLive. I don't particularly mind having to manage latex related programs manually, but it would be nice if apt could manage LyX without forcing me to use Ubuntu's TexLive.
