I'm afraid that indeed the changes are pretty big and that because
upstream and debian maintenance are intermixed, the debian package does
not excel in clean packaging. And unfortunately I did not find a clear
changelog, apart from the debian/changelog remarks.

So, I sort of gave up on the idea of getting it into Intrepid, but I am
very willing to help. I just don't know what information is needed.

Unfortunately I have not done much testing, except that I use the newly
build fpc and lazarus binaries to build my winff package in my PPA. That
works fine, but than again, the package is pretty simple and small.

Please, if I can be of any help to test or anything, just give me some
idea of what to do. I am also considering of offering help to the debian
packager to get a cleaner package for the future.
