LyX is collaboratively maintained in the pkg-lyx Alioth project. It is currently maintained by SvenHoexter, PerOlofsson and GeorgBaum. LyX is collaboratively maintained on salsa.debian.org.
It's currently maintained with the git-buildpackage toolchain in conjunction with pristine-tar and tarball imports, thus still disconnected
from the upstream git repository.

 * Should we recommend rcs and dvipost or depend on them?
  * This problem applies to many of LyX's dependencies...
 * Send patches upstream.
  * 01.boost_limits.dpatch - code seems to be reworked in the boost upstream source. Need to wait until the LyX upstream resyncs with the boost upstream. Alternative: Wait for LyX 1.5 where we can use an external boost lib from Debian.
 * Use sensible-browser, run-mailcap and/or xdg-open from the xdg-utils package in the configure.py script

 * Since at least 2.1.0 there is a build dependency on bc to compare Qt versions, see also:

 * Lintian warning: "I: lyx: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/lyx collapsable collapsible" - got forwarded by SvenHoexter some time ago to upstream, but was declined by a general disagreement about the correct spelling depending on country you're in.
