I close this bug.

I don't want waste time to find out why 580 MB additional ressources
are needed to just write a g-brief class dokument with tk-brief. lyx
sucks whith g-brief. I purged all texlive and tetex stuff. Then:

# apt-get install tk-brief
Need to get 249MB/294MB of archives.
After unpacking 580MB of additional disk space will be used.

# apt-get install lyx texlive-latex-extra
Need to get 138MB/138MB of archives.
After unpacking 261MB of additional disk space will be used.

texlive-latex-extra is for g-brief. This is a nightmare :(

Well OO and M$ need less.

My intention was to use a more individual class than all that
shitty office stuff flowing around, though.
