OK, I've uploaded it now. Great work!

Some suggestions for the next version:

* The short description should probably not begin with "A".
  See the Developer's Reference, section 6.2.2.

* You probably shouldn't call "/usr/bin/texhash" with an absolute
  path. Just call "texhash" instead.

* When I upgrade dvipost, it runs texhash twice. Is this necessary?

Now, what's the plan? Here's what I think:

1. Package the latest LyX upstream version and upload it as soon as
   dvipost has entered unstable. Don't bother fixing all the existing
   bugs yet, it's more important that people get a chance to test the
   latest version.

2. Ask Erinn for admin privileges to pkg-lyx. I can do that.

3. Create an SVN repository on Alioth and put the sources there.

4. Fix bugs.

What do you think?
