TODO

Send patches upstream. We should aim at having a minimal packaging, as much as possible should be sent upstream. Only Debian-specific and "packaging-specific" stuff should be kept.
- prefer-xdg-open - Will be Debian specific until all other issue with xdg-open are solved. Discussion on lyx-devel.
- boost-mt - Georg proposed a patch to solve it upstream. Waiting for inclusion. Discussion one and two.
Solve the rpath problem on amd64.
- I wonder if this bug still exists. Needs to be tested. --PerOlofsson
- It does. See thread on debian-devel. --PerOlofsson
- We should probably ask upstream to libtoolize with a newer libtool. But I'm not sure which version is needed - is it perhaps only fixed in Debian?
- Seems to be only fixed in Debian. http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue I need to get my hands on a amd64 installation to try out which of the outlined solutions could work best for LyX. --SvenHoexter
Provide a backport for Lenny
The bash_completion file can eventually be integrated upstream. LyX Bugzilla lyx-devel
Cleanup the Replaces and Conflicts at some point.
latex-xft-ftons need a transitional package or Replaces/Provides/Conflicts in ttf-lyx.
Maybe package eLyXer under the pkg-lyx umbrella?
