2.6.1 does not install them.
2.7.1 does. At least under Linux and OS X.

I don't know why 2.6.1 does not install them. Maybe they were not
stable. You could ask on the fpc list.

Please create a bug report for fpc.

That's only the precompiled version.
He was asking about the installed version of the ppu file.

No. What fpc installs and what no is entirely up to the FPC team.

Yes, only those that register design time items in Lazarus.

It would be better to fix this in the fpc packages.

No.
