I've just checked sid [1] and LyX wasn't pushed there, yet. I *think* that Debian policy is to wait for two weeks after a new release, and if the new version is still missing from the repos (sid), you may file a bug report (package update request). It might or may not work quickly enough. Alternatively, build 1.6.8 from sources.
