For linux I see no other way.

Yes, together with B.

We already do.

I'll implement this in the installer for LyX 1.5.4.

Hmm, and waht about the users still having a LaTeX-distribution. Only new users are affected by the
problem.

This is indeed an option.

The license allows this, but this doesn't help as you have o install the
pacakge to LaTeX.

TeXLive came up with the removal, others followed. For Linux TeXLive is the only active
LaTeX-distribution I know.
Generally speaking, it sucks that they discovered that floatflt has a nosell license after 10 years
and not before! Argh.
Unfortunately using wrapfig like in trunk cannot be backported since it is a
fileformat change.
