I see the point, but as you said this a soft freeze, and tests performed
by Graham show everything is OK

No offense meant, but if that is your opinion, why didn't you work on
getting lazarus 2 in shape during the period before the freeze? As far
as I saw I was the only one working on it. The RC3 failed to build due
to the libqtpas issue and I only fixed the final version lately (it got
off my radar due to the Christmas period).

Otherwise people will turn in direction of non official deb packages and

We have fpc and lazarus in stretch-backports. I intent to do the some
for buster.

Go ahead if you want to push for this. On the other hand, I won't be the
