I tried to find the issue by compare the upstream deb package found at
lazarus-ide.org and the package from Debian repos.
What I found: the Debian lazarus package contains this line in lpk files (like
components/anchordocking/design/anchordockingdsgn.lpk):
<AutoUpdate Value="Manually"/>
The upstream deb package doesn't contain this line in lpk files.
I found the lines in debian/rules that add this line:
# Mark package as manually compilable and install them
for package in `find -name '*.lpk'` ; \
do \
${MKDIR} `dirname "${LIB_DIR}/$${package}"` ; \
sed -e 's@\(\W*\)<CompilerOptions>.*@\1<AutoUpdate
Value="Manually"/>\n&@'
"$${package}" > "${LIB_DIR}/$${package}" ; \
done
It seems that removing these lines solves the issue, and Lazarus can be
rebuilt as normal user.
What is more interesting, these lines existed in debian/rules for older
versions of the package, and in the upstream sources, but I didn't find
<AutoUpdate Value="Manually"/>
in lpk files in versions earlier than 1.8.
