[Bug 275688] Re: License issue: please sync fpc 2.2.2-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Marco van de Voort]

FPC keeps a typical building chain where release N is only guaranteed to
build with release N-1. One can be lucky from time to time with point
releases (x.y.n also buildable with x.y.n-1)

Note that the only binary that is really necessary from the older
release to bootstrap is the  compiler binary itself (ppc386 or ppcx64
for x86_64).

I don't know what the debian/ubuntu policies are, but in FreeBSD afaik
this was avoided by having a separate port for the bootstrap compiler,
which can be quicker and easier bumped than the main release.
