experimental doesn't use the default resolver. It uses aptitude if I'm 
correct. You can get interesting results.

In principle that's cruft. It's also listed here: 
https://ftp-master.debian.org/cruft-report-daily.txt
It should just be cleaned up. I'm wondering why it's on the list and I'm 
assuming Built-Using is involved.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but the src:lazarus can only be build 
using the latest version.

Because that's the only thing that makes sense in Debian, older versions 
should get removed.

Ack. They are cruft. You might want to ask ftp-master.
