Dear Debian release team,

FPC-2.2.0 was removed from Lenny du to copyright infringement (c.f. 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506977 for more information).
This was fixed in the new version 2.2.2 which is now available on sid 
(FPC-2.2.2-8).
It may be too late to include the new FPC version in Lenny but there are many 
arguments for that :
* FPC was available on sarge and etch, it will really be sad to remove in from 
Lenny
* FPC-2.2.2-8 is more stable than FPC-2.2.0-dfsg1-9 which was in Lenny before 
it get removed
* FPC-2.2.2-8 has only one open bug which was present since sarge (wishlist)
* FPC-2.2.2-8 has neither lintian errors nor warnings
* Many packages got removed from Lenny only because FPC was removed 
(dependency).

If this request is accepted, please consider also adding Lazarus-0.9.26-4 which 
get removed because of FPC removal.
Please note that the new Lazarus version has no open bugs and no lintian errors.

Cheers,
Mazen,
