I presume the lazy man's way of doing this would be:
        download the lyx .deb from potato
        dpkg -i --force-depends lyx*.deb
        point dselect at slink and do [S], 2x[Enter], [I], [C]

Would that work like I think it would?

(More importantly, am I a dangerous maniac with habits like that?)
