Note: I'm not sure if it's the right way to do it. If I had a personal lyxrc
file I would be pissed if it gets simply removed.
Making a .bak copy or something like this could be an option in conjunction
with a md5sum comparison to check if someone ever touched it.

Another option could be to only remove it on a purge in the postrm script but
that would still leave us with an undefined number of systems with a lost file
which isn't owned by any package. That in turn makes it hard to remove this
workaround from the postrm script later.

Adding a debconf dialog to ask the user if we should remove it would be
overkill I guess.
