[Fixed] Missing dependency in package "lyx".

There is a missing dependency concerning the lyx package.(available in SBo's "office" section"), and it is actually a nasty one. Specifically, the package bc is required, otherwise lyx won't compile. Lyx's "configure" phase doesn't check for bc, so it will happily start compiling, but it will eventually fail while linking, because one of its modules assumes bc is present. How a "LaTeX frontend with benefits" such as lyx needs bc's arbitrary precision language, I don't know, but it does.
So please add bc as an additional dependency for lyx.

EDIT: My repos synchronized today, and SBoADD mentions that dependency now; same for the previously missing hugin dependencies. Both threads marked as fixed.
