Yes, and I do. But this will break compilation for everyone who
installs TeX Live on Ubuntu from their package manager (apt). This is
how many people do it.

I agree. Even with Georg's solution, we have to answer this. I don't
know enough about this to have a strong opinion, so I'll be happy with
whatever others decide. Should templates work for versions of packages
that are 1 year old as of LyX's release date? It would be nice to have
a rule so that we don't have to continue debating this each time. Of
course, there could be exceptions to this rule.

But did this break compilation of any templates? It would be nice if
templates compiled out of the box. It would also be nice to have as
many features in the templates in order to show off what can be done
in each of those templates. It's not clear to me how these priorities
should be weighted.
