Add a build-dependency on Lazarus, I guess?

I had done this already. Here's the compiler-message:

Is lazarus not available in the version of Ubuntu you're targeting?

Lazarus is available, but it is not supported. (In the universe-repository)
Can I add this tool to my project?

Has nobody an idea? Can I add the Lazarus-IDE to the build-system?

You seem to be confused. I've looked at your PPA: https://edge.launchpad.net/~matthias-tns/+archive and seen that indeed you have build failures, but lazarus is not missing. What /is/ the problem is highlighted here:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15018576/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-amd64.listaller_0.1.16a_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

I don't know how you produced the error above, but it wasn't in your PPA.

That the unit "Interfaces" can't be found shows that Lazarus is missing.
I reviewed the code and noticed that the Lazarus-Version from the repository is installed in another path than my LCL-version.
I think that was the failure. Thanks for your help!

Thanks Christian Reis, that solved my question.
