Dear LyX maintainers,

LyX 1.6 contains some important bug fixes (e.g. word-delete no longer
deletes all non-word chars, formulas and insets behind the word). It also
has a lot of long awaited features (like true macros, better math-macros,
layout modules, ...).

Would it be possible to pack the new 1.6 beta version for Debian and upload
it to experimental?

This way 

* one could have a testversion also on a machine too small on
  ressources to compile from SVN.
  
* it's possible to install lyx 1.6 from an official Debian package

* as it is in Debian/experimental, no fear of "overwriting" the stable 1.5.5
  with a beta version.

Thanks,

Guenter Milde
