I wanted to ask about plans to support better packaging of lazarus
and apps made by lazarus on Linux distros in the future. For
reference I'll use .deb style here but I'm sure .rpm will have to be
quite similar.

1. Does lazarus support root/readonly locations yet? (including
support for installing components) This is crucial for everything
really.

If you mean that the package sources are installed read only: yes

I mean that you install lazarus from a .deb into eg: /usr/lib/lazarus and that people can still install 3rd party components into this lazarus in some way (I realize that packaged components would conflict tho, because of the "one binary" problem, but that's a bit different beast)
Maybe improve fppackage instead?

I'm not sure if fppkg would be welcomed as build-tool/3rd party repository to enable -src package autobuilds. (actually I'm sure it wouldn't)
Why missing?

Because lazarus needs it for auto-completion.
I'd also propose to add the fpc package to lazarus deb repository.

Why?
See above.
