Tobias, although I appreciate your effort to help me, your information doesn't address either of my issues. Issue 1: installing DT2.4.2 directly from DT PPA does not seem to install lensfun (any version). Issue 2: installing lensfun 0.3.2 either before or after installation of DT 2.4.2 yields the problems I first reported: no drop-down list of lens choices AND no persistence of selection.
