There seems to be no package file that contains these units even though the
source file is installed in /usr/share/fpcsrc/3.2.0/packages/vcl-
compat/src/system.netencoding.pp.

Yes, I can see that in e.g. https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=fpc&arch=amd64&ver=3.2.2%2Bdfsg-11&stamp=1653593343&raw=0 (under the dh_missing section).

The fpc project itself ship these unit with their installer. Also the unit gets
built using fpclazup. I suggest to somehow include the vcl-compat packagt that
contains the System.NetEncoding unit.

Is there an existing package that makes sense to contain these units?
