  It is, however, available on Debian Linux...

   You mean, associated with the compiler install?   As a for instance, the
following "units" packages are available for Free Pascal on Debian:
fp-units-fv, fp-units-multimedia, fp-units-gnome1, fp-units-fcl, fp-units-base,
fp-units-gfx, fp-units-gtk, fp-units-gtk2, fp-units-i386, & fp-units-misc.

   I sometimes think about trying my hand at it again but it's been a _long_
time since I did anything with Pascal...
