I'm not very happy with this one, and its warnings that the default
answer isn't safe... any chance of feedback from upstream about
whether we're misinterpreting it?

Oh, and I've noticed some more problems in the control.in file:

The other problem with "(L)GPLed" is that it's not obvious whether it
should be preceded by "a" or "an".  A solution that also reduces the
repetitiveness would be:

   Lazarus is an IDE to create (graphical and console) applications with Free
   Pascal, the (L)GPLed Pascal and Object Pascal compiler that runs on
   Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and more.

Extra hyphen in "Delphi-like".

The "Official" line conflicts with the "Homepage:", while the
"Tutorials" URL gives me "Sorry, an internal error has occurred."
Throw them both out.

Even after I've got used to this strange developerese use of "backend"
I find this confusing.  Is it saying "no-GUI backend" (that is, this
package provides a set of components including a development framework
for character-mode user interfaces) or "no GUI-backend" (that is, this
package provides a set of components that doesn't include an
interface-development framework at all)?

The former, I think, so place the hyphen appropriately.

[...]

Incoherent.  I think it's saying:

   This package contains the version of the LCL for developing non-graphical
   applications and command line tools.

...paralleling:

> Package: lcl-gtk2${PACKAGESUFFIX}
[...]
>  This package contains the LCL and components GTK+ based backend.

which should be:

   This package contains the version of the LCL for developing GTK+
   applications.

and

[...]

where it now occurs to me that "actually" is probably a
false-friendism for "currently".  To make it possible to add on the
extra layer of dependency-packageness later, I'll suggest:
 
   This is a placeholder package for the Qt version of the LCL, which
   currently just depends on the GTK version.

Oops, some problems I'd already seen but forgotten to fix.

   This package contains documentation for the Lazarus IDE and components. It can
   be viewed separately with any HTML browser or accessed from the IDE's
   integrated help (pressing <F1> on any LCL identifier will browse the help of
   that identifier).

Er, but lazarus${PACKAGESUFFIX} claims to do that.  This does
something more complicated:

   This dependency package always depends on the latest available version of
   the metapackage pulling in all the packages needed to have a typical
   Lazarus installation.

> Package: lazarus-ide
[...]

Again needs the line
   This dependency package always depends on the latest available version of
this time spliced to
   thes package pulling in the common files required to run Lazarus IDE.

And so on... don't be surprised if I send another draft after this one.

 Pascal, the (L)GPLed Pascal and Object Pascal compiler that runs on
 Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and more.
 .
 Lazarus is the missing part of the puzzle that will allow you to develop
 programs for all of the above platforms in a Delphi-like environment.
 The IDE is a RAD tool that includes a form designer.
 .
 Unlike Java's "write once, run anywhere" motto, Lazarus and Free Pascal
 strive for "write once, compile anywhere". Since the exact same compiler
 is available on all of the above platforms you don't need to do any recoding
 to produce identical products for different platforms.
 .
 In short, Lazarus is a free RAD tool for Free Pascal using its Lazarus
 Component Library (LCL).
 .
 This package contains the version of the LCL for developing GTK+
 applications.
