I presume you are aware that selecting an icon for a new component in 
the Package Editor causes automatic generation of an appropriate .lrs 
file for the icon, provided the icon has the same name as the new 
component class (ignoring extension), and that it is no bigger than 
24x24 pixels? Lazarus also auto-generates in the Register procedure an 
appropriate {$I componentUnitName_icon.lrs} line as well. So provided 
you are only adding one new component, everything is done for you by the 
IDE, except for designing the icon.
If you want several icons to be registered in one unit for several 
components, then you do have to write a bit of code, and use the 
lazres.exe tool to generate the correct .lrs file yourself.
