Thanks for the report.

Interesting, when I manually add (doesn't prevent the "wrong version"
error) or replace the current content in
/usr/lib/lazarus/2.0.10/ide/version.inc (which is where this alternative
points to), I get a pop-up with the following text:

"""
Welcome to Lazarus 2.0.10+dfsg-4+b1

There is already a configuration from version 2.0.10 in
/home/paul/.lazarus
The configuration will be downgraded/converted.

If you want to use two different Lazarus versions you must start the
second Lazarus with the command line parameter primary-config-path or pcp.

For example:
/usr/lib/lazarus/2.0.10/startlazarus --pcp=~/.lazarus_test
"""

The text of that pop-up is "Downgrade configuration" which is at least
confusing as this is definitely no downgrade, if anything it's an
upgrade. The choice I have is "Abort" or "Downgrade".

On top of that, when I hit "Abort" I get an Access Violation (see
below). It seems like this all doesn't work very pretty.

So, two possibilities:
1) we should patch the check in lazarus-ide to *not* fail on
distribution changes that keep upstream version intact
2) we have to make lazarus-src-2.0 a arch:any package and have to fix
the version string during rebuilds.
