Well, FPC is one product, so it should be one package. But then I don't know Debian packaging rules or what they consider a single package on not. So how is Lazarus packaged? lazarus-lcl lazarus-report lazarus-codetools lazarus-synedit lazarus-ide lazarus-component-xxx lazarus-component-xxx ???? As far as I know, Lazarus is 3 packages: docs, ide and src. ide encapsulates all the individual parts: components, synedit, codetools etc. which makes the ide work fpc-compiler should also encapsulate: rtl, lcl etc. everything use as a compiler fpc-docs: the name says it all fpc-src: the name says it all. So at most, FPC should also only be 3 packages, not 19! The FCL is an integral part of FPC so it should be packaged as such.
