I would rather push to SID first, so that we can provide 3.2.0 to users that are
waiting for it.
Anyway, people will be able to continue with 3.0.4 as it won't be un-installed.

Yes but FPC and Lazarus has so strong dependency that It doesn't make sense to
upload only FPC.
It will break Lazarus on SID, if we do.

I've sent this to upstream, but did not commit it as I did not manage to build
experimental on porter box:

Can you please validate the patch below?
