The default SUSE setting are very strict.
Can't you simply demand this 'alternative configuration' as dependency when lyx is installed? I'm not sure for how big percentage of userbase I speak of but to butcher postscript processing renders lyx quite unusable imho, so question is to whether suse wants lyx in its repositories at all if this does not work... So if it was on me would rather ask for removing lyx from your official repos and let only advanced users to fetch from alternative sources and tweak settings -- because delivering half non functional lyx just give us bad reputation. But again, that's due to my way of using lyx, don't take this as official lyx team stand point :) > In general postscript does not work out of the box on openSUSE for security > reasons nowadays, but the user can enable this by installing additional > packages. > > I hope this give enough information.
