The solution is not to debianize it at all. Just untar it in /usr/src, cd to the lyx directory, apply the patch (I'm not familiar with the particular patch, but usually something like "patch -p1 < patchfile"), then do a ./configure which defaults to installation in /usr/local, a make, and a make install. If tghe version you wants ever comes out as a .deb, you can then remove lyx and reLyX from /usr/local/bin, the man pages in /usr/local/man, and /usr/local/share/lyx hawk
