You mean in the fpc sources? Yes, such dummy packages would help the IDE to find out which unit belongs to the FCL, which one to RTL, etc. It could also setup the unit and include paths. Although I'm not sure if the include file names are unique enough to use only one lpk for the whole FCL. Of course it can not be used for compiling, because for that you need one lpk per output directory. The alternative would be to store such dummy packages in the Lazarus sources, but then it needs conditionals for every FPC version. > Then an help author can add more units to that package, when adding docs > on further FCL units?

The IDE passes the information of the unit file name, the fpdoc element path and the Lazarus package name of the unit to the chm help database. I don't know what the chm db does with that. The fpdoc editor has the same information, additionally searches all ancestors and uses all this to search in the fpdoc paths of the package(s) and the IDE.
