Packaging question

Hello,
I am working on packaging a GUI for ffmpeg called winff "video and audio
batch converter using ffmpeg" (see [1]). I requested sponsorship for
Debian [2][3] in the beginning of this week as everything looks all
right in Debian.
Now I try to make a package for Ubuntu, but I have a problem with the
following. This program is written in Free Pascal (Lazarus) and is
compiled with the following line:
/usr/lib/lazarus/lazbuild --widgetset=gtk2 -B winff.lpr
Unfortunately the gtk2 widgetset is not compiled in the lazarus package
(it is however in the current unstable distribution of Debian). Manually
I can compile the widgetset by running:
cd /usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/interfaces && make gtk2_units
but compiling during the automated process outside of the build tree is
not allowed.
Does anybody know how I should handle this? Is there anyway to get the
appropriate build-dependencies or compile during build? I need this
widgetset because with the gtk widgetset the program has several
annoying bugs.
