[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#507045: Bug#507045: lyx: Several standard document classes not available

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Better yet, provide a help document declaring the missing styles and  
classes that aren't available under Debian; and then reference how to  
install them locally to add those classes that don't comply with  
Debian's strict licensing policy. That way it allows folks unfamiliar  
with /usr/local/share/texmf/ how that works with the Debian mktexlsr  
approach to updating local and global classes.
