These files are in our packaging repository of Lazarus since 1.1.99. So
we need to get this fixed in jessie as well. The files in question are
all from the Carbon lcl interface. If I am correct, we should be able to
rather trivially remove them as we don't build anything against that
interface (a test build just finished successfully). Did I judge this
correctly? Of course if we want to fix all references to it this is more
work. And how do we want to inform our users that the carbon interface
doesn't work in the Debian package?
