While I see the interest of having lazbuild in a separate package, I think that it shall still be part of the lazarus sources as it makes little sens to use it without LCL packages.
If the real issue is the big rules file, then maybe the solution would be to simplify lazarus rule files (which is BTW in my todo list) rather than creating multiple small source packages from the unique upstream one. Let's discuss this on mailing list before doing this split. -- Cheers, Mazen Neifer Debian Developer
