I know it says that in the changelog, but I believe (I have not asked
the uploader) that he noted that because I said that I did not have this
problem building in sid. However, I build fpc and lazarus under intrepid
and the first bug that I see was the same as bug 260464. I used the same
patch and the problem was solved. Looking at the code the problem was
not solved in Debian, but I can (at this moment) only guess that it is a
result from different build dependencies. I will try to find out.

Ok. I will do that. FPC needs to go in first, Lazarus only after that.

I will figure this out tonight.
