I'm not sure what's the right thing for most users of the Debian lyx package.

On the one hand the default installation grows bigger and bigger but on the
other hand HTML export seems to be kind of a wanted feature with a now build in
implementation and the userbase elyxer got so far. Admittedly the output of
the build in exporter is very ugly compared to elyxer. Even the argument
about the size of the default installation is a weak one in the light
of the few hundred kilobytes elyxer would add.

Another opinion or other arguments for or against a change are appreciated.
