Wait, I think we already fixed this in the past. We have
"fpc-abi-3.2.2", which is provided by fp-units-rtl-3.2.2. So the
relation with lazarus is correctly glued together. But I think
fp-units-castle-game-engine is missing that Depends. Do you agree we
should add it there similar as we do in src:lazarus?
