I played a little bit with debtree, to visualize the dependency tree. I
attach the old and new situation, both with and without Recommends
(*_nr.png). Blue arrows are Depends, black arrows are Recommends, green
arrows are Provides.

I don't know yet where I think the link between the lcl and lazarus-src
should be (Recommends between ...)
</pre></blockquote><div>I do agree that lcl-1.6 should recommend lazarus-src. By the way, we don't really need Lazarus sources, we only need LCL sources! The name and the content is somewhat wrong. It should probably become lcl-src and get the IDE specific code removed. This was difficult for old Lazarus versions, but now the split between LCL and IDE is more clear.</div><blockquote type="cite"><pre>
I also wonder if it is worth it to keep the lazarus-ide-gtk(|-1.6) and
lazarus-ide-qt(|-1.6) packages.
</pre></blockquote><div>I think it is important to provide for each clan their IDE. I personally never used Qt IDE, but I know people that do the same with gtk+ one.</div><blockquote type="cite"><pre>

PS1: I haven't checked if the fp* Depends/Recommends are correct yet.
</pre></blockquote><div>Nice item in todo list.</div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><pre>PS2: note the circular dependency between lazarus-ide-1.6,
lazarus-ide-gtk-1.6 and lazarus-ide-gtk2-1.6 (and lazarus-ide-1.6,
lazarus-ide-qt-1.6, and lazarus-ide-qt4-1.6). I have a bug in my Winff
package about circular dependencies, seems like we should get rid of that
