TODO
- Handle the remaining 5 bugs in the BTS
- Solve the rpath problem on amd64.
I wonder if this bug still exists. Needs to be tested. --PerOlofsson
It does. See [http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.devel/browse_thread/thread/e58bfe4c2fd342cd?hl=en 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?
Provide a backport of 1.5.2 for etch users? [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-lyx-devel/2007-November/002165.html (discussion)]
- Reintroduce a patch to configure.py to prefer xdg-open where possible with LyX 1.5.4.
Done
- 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.
- Try dh_builddeb -- -Z bzip2 and check if we get some reasonable benefits in the package size.

Bugreports without further feedback
[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=440307 #440307 Difficult to select text and change figure text settings] Tagged unreproduceable and no further feedback from Gudjon. Feels a bit strange because he has been active and the report is a recent one. --SvenHoexter Note: According to Per there has been some private discussion but the bug only appeared on amd64 kernels.
