Because CTAN contains the *LaTeX* packages/classes while for using
them in LyX, we need *in addition to them* also LyX modules/layouts.

This need for definitions on both, LyX and LaTeX levels is a main
reason why creating/editing LyX layouts is such a complex task.
(And also the base for much frustation for people with either a just a
LyX layout or just a LaTeX class or package.)
