[Pkg-lyx-devel] How to handle those ancient lyx upgrade bugs?

Hi,

I say close them. We only need to support upgrades from sarge.

That's great!

Weird, I thought that configure was automatically run the next time
LyX was started after an upgrade.

1.4.2 will eventually enter testing so that's the relevant upgrade.
