That's a great news, thanks for your effort.

Can you please explain this a bit more? Do you mean that these packages are not
compiled by the make file upon build of lazarus?

So you compiled package B and then try to compile package A that depends on B,
isn't it?
Did you install the package B first? Please refer to --add-package command line
option of lazbuild.

Normally the primary config path is set to this path. So Idon't think we need to
change anything for that to work. I assume it is only a matter of installing the
packages using --add-package

Let's first conclude there is a bug then we can try to contact them, but
recently they didn't help too much. They don't seem to appreciate the split on
multiple packages and they do distribute their own unique deb package.

This is probably true.
