That's not what I meant to say. Only that Debian currently
doesn't have a libforms0.89 package for Arm, and thus no Lyx
package either.
Have you made a Lyx upload since package pools were implemented?
It's possible that it would get stuck in unstable because of a
missing build-depends on one of the arches. If that happens,
you'll need to complain to the ftp archive maintainer, or track
libforms0.89 Architecture field (currently "i386 powerpc alpha
m68k sparc").
Of course a GTK-based Lyx is due sometime, right? Then this will
be moot too.

Touchy question that comes up often on this list. I guess `Real
Life' preoccupations for T.C. are keeping this from happening.
