Known issues:
- Debian packages: the default lazarus directory is wrong.
The IDE detects the right one and asks on first start.
Just click Ok.
- When compiling a test application the compiler can not
find project1.lrs. Workaround: save the project before
compiling OR create an empty file /tmp/project1.lrs.
