Sorry, yes, I think this is it.

_Description: Rename "/etc/lazarus" to "/etc/lazarus.bak"?
 The Lazarus suite now supports keeping multiple versions installed
 at the same time and using the alternatives system to set proper
 defaults. Normally, the latest version of any component is used.
 .
 To use the alternatives system on the system-wide configuration
 of the Lazarus suite, /etc/lazarus needs to be under control of the
 alternatives system. Currently there is a real directory at
 /etc/lazarus, probably from a previous installation. In order to
 start using the alternatives system on the configuration you must
 accept renaming "/etc/lazarus". If you don't, you will need to
 review the configuration on every version update of Lazarus as,
 unfortunately, the configuration files are not always
 backward-compatible. Also switching between different versions
 might need more intervention.
 .
 If you have made changes to your configuration files, you will
 probably need to review them and apply them to all versioned
 configurations, as they will not automatically propagate.

Description: IDE for Free Pascal - suite

 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.

Description: Lazarus Components Library - GTK+ backend dependency package
 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.
 .
 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 dependency package always depends on the latest available version of
 the package containing the part of the LCL for developing GTK+
 applications.

 It can be viewed separately with any HTML browser or accessed from the IDE's

 that identifier).

-Description: Do you want to rename "/etc/lazarus" to "/etc/lazarus.bak"?
- Lazarus supports now multiple version installations. This allows co-existence
- of multiple versions on the same system. The default version can be selected
- using the update-alternatives command for the following groups:
-     1)lazarus-ide  : IDE default version
-     2)lazarus  : configuration file and helper tools default version
+_Description: Rename "/etc/lazarus" to "/etc/lazarus.bak"?
+ The Lazarus suite now supports keeping multiple versions installed
+ at the same time and using the alternatives system to set proper
+ defaults. Normally, the latest version of any component is used.
  .
- What ever version you may choose as default, the configuration files (2) are
- not always backward compatible and it may be unsafe to use the same version
- for all installed Lazarus versions.
+ To use the alternatives system on the system-wide configuration
+ of the Lazarus suite, /etc/lazarus needs to be under control of the
+ alternatives system. Currently there is a real directory at
+ /etc/lazarus, probably from a previous installation. In order to
+ start using the alternatives system on the configuration you must
+ accept renaming "/etc/lazarus". If you don't, you will need to
+ review the configuration on every version update of Lazarus as,
+ unfortunately, the configuration files are not always
+ backward-compatible. Also switching between different versions
+ might need more intervention.
  .
- In order to use alternatives system for system wide Lazarus configuration file
- you need to accept renaming "/etc/lazarus", othewise you will need to manage
- this manually by yourself.
+ If you have made changes to your configuration files, you will
+ probably need to review them and apply them to all versioned
+ configurations, as they will not automatically propagate.
