I agree, but I was sure that people on this list should know exactly how
to compile LyX under debian.

Hmm. Configure says that only qt4 is possible. Using this

./configure --with-frontend=qt4 --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt4

and having the following deb packages (with their dependencies) enabled
me to succefully configure LyX-devel.

libqt4-dev
libqt4-core
libqt4-qui

Thanks, Gregor
