I have workarounded this bug in sdcc by running in debian/rules:

	mkdir -p ~/.lyx && cd ~/.lyx && /usr/share/lyx/configure.py

I have found that only one other package is affected in the archive,
manderlbot.

I will fill a bug report against this package as it also FTBFS, and I
will suggesst the same workaround.

When this package is fixed, I think the severity of this bug could be
decreased, as the bug only appears in command line. But please don't do
that before, because if lyx moves to etch, there will be one more RC bug
in etch...

Bye,
Aurelien
