Are those really IDE-relevant packages (showing up in the visual 
component selection ) ?

If not, they might be just Delphi "Runtime Packages" (a special kind of 
DLLs that can be attached by Delphi executables).

The concept of "Runtime Packages" is not (yet) supported by FPC/Lazarus. 
That is why the IDE needs to be recompiled when installing a package 
that provides visual components.
