I checked Debian sid / unstable, and lyx does pull in epstopdf. So I
think this bug does not apply to Debian. This is why:

[code]
$ aptitude why texlive-extra-utils
i   lyx                       Recommends texlive-latex-recommended           
i A texlive-latex-recommended Recommends prosper (>= 1.00.4+cvs.2006.10.22-1)
i A prosper                   Depends    texlive-pstricks                    
i A texlive-pstricks          Recommends texlive-extra-utils                 
[/code]

Now in Ubuntu jaunty, the texlive-latex-recommended does not depend on
prosper, and I think therefore texlive-pstricks is not pulled in. Ok,
arguable lyx should depend on texlive-extra-utils directly, but there is
no reason to change it in Debian.

Of course there is another bug involved here: why does ps2pdf not work
properly? And should it?
