Maybe I'm being naive, but I just don't fathom Lucas holding back the original theatrical versions when the time comes that the OT is finally released on DVD.
Lucas is a shrewd business man and one thing he knows how to do well is build anticipation. I believe that his saying that the theatrical versions are all but forgotten is a lie.
Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I really do believe he will make the theatrical verions some limited special edition box set that costs loads of money. If he does that, I would have no qualms about purchasing it.
