Got it.  So after moving files and/or directories around in
packages/some-package/ one has to:
  1) Edit fpmake.pp to make sure it has the correct paths and files
  2) Fix up any examples or lazarus project files with the correct
paths. (if needed)
  3) Run fpcmake -w -Tall from base package directory to regenerate Makefile

Thanks for the assistance.
