Hi, Licensing terms of "components\aggpas\gpc" state that it is free for non-commercial use only. Should it even be allowed to be part of Lazarus components? For this reason it was excluded from Debian packaged Lazarus, as discussed here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=708695

Why many components have missing *.lpk files in Lazarus 1.6 DEB installer? Is this deliberate or a packaging problem? Tried installing using `lazarus_1.6-0_amd64.deb` and via `apt install lazarus` on Ubuntu 16. Tree structure of components in DEB is quite different to Windows or SVN structure.

It should be possible to code up an automatic conversion of LRT files directly to RSJ/LSJ, without a need to resave all forms. They both store the same data, but use a different format. Of course, LRT files with already broken strings (as a result of new lines) would be initially mapped 1-to-1 to
