I just checked the binary package:
o /usr/doc should be /usr/share/doc
o There is a lyx-1.4.3-1.README in the source package, but it's named
lyx1.4.3-1.README in the binary package. I would rename that to be
consistent with the rest of the packages.
Building from source is fine. GTG if you fix the above packaging errors.
Ciao
