[yandytex] lucida "hl" naming for Y&Y with lucidabr.sty? [Was: Re: Lucida bright from two sources?]

I'm confused by this (among many other things regarding the new Lucida 
support packages)...

When I examine the new lucidabr.sty generated from the new distribution, 
I see

   \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{hlh}
   \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{hls}
   \renewcommand{\ttdefault}{hlst}

among other definitions.  It appears that all the fonts are now named 
with prefix "hl".  But that's NOT what the names have been in Y&Y TeX. 
So exactly what changes need to be made with Y&Y to use this new 
lucidabr.sty?  (With LY1 encoding, of course.)

I'd really like to be able to keep around just ONE version of 
lucidabr.sty between multiple TeX systems, including Y&Y and MiKTeX.
