Yep.  Ubuntu is not Debian.  Occasionally, like now, you'll get bitten
mixing the two.  As they say, "don't do that, then."  Use the Ubuntu
lyx package, if they have one.

lyx got this dependency before python 2.4 was released.  Presumably it
was unknown whether the scripts would be compatible with python 2.4.
Now that python 2.4 *is* released, the dependency can probably either
be loosened to include it, or tightened to "python2.3".

Either way, though, this isn't a bug.  It should be either be closed,
or reincarnated as 'wishlist'.
