Finally thought at the "Application" menu, which I else never use. Then, copying the launcher to the desktop I could see its properties, mainly that the command is "startlazarus".

Actually seems to be "lazarus-ide" on Ubuntu:

spir at o:~$ lazaruside
No command 'lazaruside' found, did you mean:
 Command 'lazarus-ide' from package 'lazarus-ide' (universe)
lazaruside: command not found
spir at o:~$ lazarus-ide
... runs ...
