[Lazarus] How do you install Lazarus on Debian?

[Howard Lee Harkness]

I was not able to find the deb files. How do you download them? When I did
a search for "lazarus install on debian", I got a list of installation
instructions for everything except Debian -- and directions for doing a
source checkout and build.

BTW, I missed the part about needing to configure fpc and fpc-packages
before doing the make. After an apt-get install fpc, make appears to be
running just fine in the lazarus directory. Now to figure out how to start
it up...
