I was not able to find the deb files. How do you download them? When I did a search for "lazarus install on debian", I got a list of installation instructions for everything except Debian -- and directions for doing a source checkout and build.
BTW, I missed the part about needing to configure fpc and fpc-packages before doing the make. After an apt-get install fpc, make appears to be running just fine in the lazarus directory. Now to figure out how to start it up...
