You are right...but, I have installed LazWebExtra (I can see all the new
components), and when I try to open any of the examples on
fcl-web/examples the project is requiring lazwebdata, just take a look
at the lpi's:

grep -rH "\"lazwebdata\"" *

webdata/demo4/extgrid.lpi:        <PackageName Value="lazwebdata"/>
webdata/demo2/extgrid.lpi:        <PackageName Value="lazwebdata"/>
webdata/demo5/extgrid.lpi:        <PackageName Value="lazwebdata"/>
webdata/demo6/extgrid.lpi:        <PackageName Value="lazwebdata"/>
webdata/demo3/extgrid.lpi:        <PackageName Value="lazwebdata"/>


I've just updated from svn's trunk version.
