Angus means that LyX inserts \usepackage{natbib} only if the user inserts a
citation. Normally natbib is only needed if you want to cite something
(except from some ERT-stuff that LyX can't handle yet - \nocite or \bibentry
with the bibentry package that comes with natbib).
But LyX can't decide if a user who uses citations and bibtex wants to use
natbib, too. He might want to use other author-year styles (harvard, apalike)
or numerical citation. The user has to (be able to) decide this himself.
