I suspect the reason that Bastian is confused is because fpc still has a 
dependency on a package calls fp-units-gtk2.  While we all know that 
unit does not, itself, have a dependency on anything (interesting) it 
does sound sort of gtk2-ish doest it ?

I know you all are sick to death of me saying this but that unit, 
fp-units-gtk2 is not needed, it serves absolute no useful purpose and 
is  sure to continue causing confusion in the future. Its an important 
part of the RTL and belongs there.

If someone can think of a use case where being a separate package is 
useful, I promise I will shut up immediately !
