I think we should add recommend: lazarus

Normally, people installing using GUI tools do not worry about disk space and
download time.
This means, that they expect a fully functional, out of the box, tool. Thus,
they need the lazarus package.

The recommend should do the job, as by default it will be pulled I assume.
