It complains about the fpc changelog, for 2.0.0-r1, but it seems okay to me:

[...]
  17 Dec 2005; Carsten Lohrke <carlo@g.o> +fpc-2.0.0-r1.ebuild:
  restore ebuild for dev-lang/lazarus

*fpc-2.0.2 (17 Dec 2005)

  17 Dec 2005; Carsten Lohrke <carlo@g.o>
  -fpc-1.9.5_pre20040820.ebuild, -fpc-2.0.0_rc2.ebuild, -fpc-2.0.0.ebuild,
  -fpc-2.0.0-r1.ebuild, +fpc-2.0.2.ebuild:
  version bump

  14 Oct 2005; Gustavo Zacarias <gustavoz@g.o> fpc-2.0.0-r1.ebuild:
  Added sparc support and keyworded accordingly

  15 Sep 2005; Marcelo Goes <vanquirius@g.o>
  fpc-1.9.5_pre20040820.ebuild:
  Add app-arch/unzip to DEPEND for bug 69831.

  24 Jul 2005; Herbie Hopkins <herbs@g.o> fpc-2.0.0-r1.ebuild:
  Added amd64 support thanks to Matthias Jansen.

*fpc-2.0.0-r1 (03 Jul 2005)
[...]

Or should the *fpc-2.0.0-r1 line be repeated?

Also, would it be possible to sort the packages in some way?
