I have gone through nearly all the files and I think I have identified
three more files that can not be shipped in Debian main:
components/synedit/synregexpr.pas (already in the current version)
lcl/themes.pas (already in the current version)
components/fpdebug/macho.pas (new)

I think the last to can relatively easy be removed (haven't tried yet),
but I am worried that the first will reduce the functionality of
synedit. I am not so much into actually using Lazarus, so I would
appreciate it when others on this list could try out if they can
understand what happens if we would just remove those files and if that
is acceptable, or that we have to work around it more.

PS: The first two have home-brew licenses that don't allow you to sell
under certain circumstances, the macho.pas file has an known
unacceptable license (Apple).
