However, with

LyX puts too much space around lists because it
increases \parskip without correcting dependend values.

This is a known bug: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4796
cf. "Obsolete commands and packages":

  In case you prefer some additional space between paragraphs to
  paragraph indent for marking the start of a new paragraph (‘zero
  paragraph indent’) do *not* use
  
    \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
    \setlength{\parskip}{\baselineskip}
  
  \parskip should not be used as it will also modify settings for list
  environments, table of contents, etc., and headings.

Workaround:

Select: separate paragraphs by indentation in LyX and do the configuration
of the output in the LaTeX preamble (e.g. with package parskip, nccparskip
or using and configuring one of the KOMA-script or memoir document-classes.
