Bernd, Sorry to say, but it seems like you are getting emotional. Please try to leave that out of the discussion. Remember that you have chosen yourself to deviate from the default behavior of installing recommends. I think the maintainer has shown a valid reasoning to set up the packaging as he has done. You may not like it, or maybe you (would) do it differently yourself, but (at least to me) you have not shown yet how things really don't work.

Please try it yourself. The Debian maintainer still disagrees with you. I have purged all lazarus packages myself and run as you said (after disabling installing recommends). I did indeed get initial error messages, but as the maintainer already predicted, I could run lazarus without further issue. Several remarks - as far as I can see, the Debian maintainer is also part of the Lazurus upstream team and he seems to fix issues directly in the Lazarus source, so the accusation in your initial report seems not valid. - the Debian maintainer does not read Ubuntu bugs, and has told explicitly that he is not interested in supporting Ubuntu more than were bugs are also present in the Debian package. So I will try to do my best and forward bugs where needed. Others can do the same. - I asked about lazarus 1.0 (an other launchpad bug) and he promised to put his work for 1.0 in the VCS of the debian packaging. I will look into providing an Ubuntu package for it.
