Are you saying that we are ready to dump lilypond-book?

Why not hand it back to thoose who want to make a live-cd, they can use 
the GUB version or does that include tex?

Or, install lilypond.deb ignoring dependancies, this might work:

 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
 ln -s /bin/true /usr/local/bin/kpsewhich

 dpkg -i --force-depends lilypond.deb
or
 dpkg -i --ignore-depends=tetex-bin,texlive-base lilypond.deb
