  There are not and IMO there should not be.

  It is up to the packager to take care about those details. Or else if we 
start doing this we should do it for every library that lyx depends:

$ ldd /usr/bin/lyx | wc -l
34

  Clearly this is not practical. :-)

  Not only that but in practice that is not a problem. :-) That is why we 
never had reports before.
