Welcome into the world of "that is not how things work". :)

It shouldn't be extortion for protection money.
It should be easier to update if lazarus.org provide a package that meets the release requirements.
It is even possible to take over this part of the work.
After all, packaging and testing applications is an important, laborious but not glorious task

I have no idea what you are talking about... the way you describe things is not how maintaining a Linux distribution works. And that is your culprit, not Lazarus, Free Pascal or "the Lazarus organization" (whatever you mean by that).
You could just as well suggest to 'the lazarus organization' to start distributing coffee-machines... also not going to happen :)

It could be a misunderstanding caused by translation. I'm not a native English speaker.
To get back to the point, a general distribution will provide an interface to a third-party software provider. To add or update software, as long as the original author of the software proposes and uploads it, and then waits for the official approval of the release.
Some staff members will delay/refuse approval without reason in order to tip. Called "extortion" by our developers.

Me neither so perhaps that might be case.

Again, this is not how maintaining a Linux distribution works. That si a job for the package maintainers but.. based on the general consensus that given distribution allows for certain packages to be updated.

What nonsense is that ?
I pointed you to the downloads of the packages which are create directly after the release of a new version of Lazarus, and yes some (cross) targets are not automatically created because of the fact that it will take too much time, effort and not to mention space.
