I think that it would probably be nicier if each stable version could be
installed independently of each other (you know, like lily2.2 lily2.4,
and so on). This would help users who have (big or complex) music
typeset in a previous version of lilypond and don't have the time to
convert it to the newest version.

not in my package! :-)
just kidding. what I meant was that will be easier because tetex is an
option, not a requirement.

nope. lilypond-book now generates eps files using the eps backend.
well, of course one needs latex to render the tex file generated by
lilypond-book, but the file can be generated without latex.
