No, it updates fpc and all its packages. It does not touch any Lazarus
package. They must be rebuilt too. Since all packages needs rebuilding,
it makes no sense to use the lazarus deb. Just use the git version or
fpcupdelux.

interesting. the above script has been widely circulating on the lazarus/FPC 
forums, and to date none of the 'experts' there, including Marco, have suggest 
it is deficient. this silence disappoints me.

The script is ok to update fpc. And if you use lazarus from git then lazarus and lazbuild automatically rebuild the lazarus packages.
The script is not fine in combination with the lazarus deb.


[...] simply downloading the pre-compiled git version of anything is pointless

Where is this coming from?
I'm not aware of a pre-compiled git version of lazarus.

Clone the lazarus git and build it with "make distclean bigide".
