I have made some debs for Lyx1.4.1 in Dapper which are here :
http://home.exetel.com.au/randombits

As for Lyx1.4.2, I couldn't do this as the Debian diff file is not
available.  So I just built it from source in Dapper and Lyx works as promised 
:)

I wanted to have the new Lyx1.4.2 in a separate directory so I could test it 
and still have the earlier version.

Configured for qt using this command:
$ ./configure --with-frontend=qt --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3
--enable-optimization=-O3 --prefix=/usr/local
--with-version-suffix=1.4.2

and gtk:
$ ./configure --with-frontend=gtk --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3
--enable-optimization=-O3 --prefix=/usr/local
--with-version-suffix=1.4.2-gtk

to run qt version: Lyx1.4.2 and gtk version run: Lyx1.4.2-gtk 
qt is *much* faster and easier on the mouse selection than the much nicer 
looking gtk.

then:
$ make all
$ sudo make install

which popped out a shiny new Lyx that starts from the command line as: lyx1.4.2

to deleted the gtk
$ sudo make uninstall

cheers
