I asked on oftc's #debian-devel and the advice was to "use pbuilder and set up a 
different environment there to build inside."

It sounds like the deb creation process could use some refinement. I don't have 
much experience here but would be happy to do some research and see if I can 
assist in the process.

I see there is a creation script here:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/tools/install/create_lazarus_deb.sh

Vincent previously mentioned he maintained the repo at hu.freepascal. I am not 
sure if this is the same script that Vincent runs to create debs. I notice that 
it has gtk stuff hardcoded in, however from what I can see it appears that this 
script is only making one .deb rather than several.

Mattias, Vincent, is there anything I can do to assist you guys in cleaning up 
the deb packages?

One thing I can definitely offer is refinement of bash scripts. Ugly things, but 
I've learned that bastard of a language decently, for some reason.

Cheers,
David.
