I don't see obvious flaws in your proposal so I think it is OK.

But I think you didn't fix this in your upload to unstable, so Lintian
is now complaining loudly about all this, as is the MA hinter:
https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pkg-pascal-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#fpc
and
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fpc

Just curious, why did you upload to unstable without fixing these issues
first?
