Well in a case where the needed style/class stuff is not packaged in
the Debian texlive packages or is not even part of texlive for e.g.
licensing reasons it can't work out. Ok we could remove those examples
from the LyX package to 'resolve' the problem.

If you change the class of the document the output will look different
because it won't use the aa styles but the one called for article.

As you can read in the bugreport JMarc explained that there is no fixed
set of 'latex' available everywhere. If you need a special class/style file
that's not included in Debian you can always add it to your local system or
use a different document class.
