Docbook
Docbook, Lyx and Ubuntu / Debian
To be able to use the default templates provides by lyx it is necessary to install the package sgmlutils-lite.
To be able to view and produce DVI / Postscript output you need the docbook-utils package.
sudo apt-get install sgmlutils-lite docbook-utils
So I was able to use the lyx-template docbook_article that brings very limited support for editing documents.
