Actually this does not work, because it seems to be forbidden to create
files in the home directory of a build daemon.

That would also mean that the solution to generate this file at runtime,
as you suggested, won't work. 

Therefore could it be possible to ship back textclass.ht in
/usr/share/lyx, but give a higher priority to the one in ~./lyx/ ?
