Once you have lcl-src, then no need for the rest of the files. The IDE
sources are not useful for users. Only LCL source are.
So in that sense lcl-src will replace lazarus-src while removing non
useful files.

Let's do that then with the next upstream version (as we need to go
through NEW at that moment anyways).

So, I asked this question before, which part of the current lazarus-src
package can be removed? It currently installs:
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/Makefile
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/Makefile.fpc
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/components
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/debugger
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/examples
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/ide
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/images
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/lcl
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/designer
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/packager
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/test
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/doceditor
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/tools
/usr/lib/lazarus/${VERSION}/converter
Do we now only need */lcl? Or also */components? Or even more? Makefiles*?<br></pre></blockquote><div>I'm not sure you can remove the Lazarus sources, because one of the most important Lazarus feature is static installation of packages in IDE.</div><div>This means that if you want to install a component that was not compiled inside the IDE, you can ask the IDE to recompile itself and it will be installed.</div><div>This requires the sources to be present.
