I read the github page and the ones it links to, but I am really no
wiser.

On its github page there is this:

Build from source
We'll provide a step by step explaination to build the product. It
requires FPC (FreePascalCompiler) and Lazarus. You can easly install
fpc and lazarus from fpcupdeluxe.

Which I think means that instead of building fcp and lazarus, I can use
apt on Debian Trixie to install them:

sudo apt install fcp lazarus

However, are the Debian packages new enough ?
If not, then instructions on how to build them are required. Which may
be tricky, because, as far as I can see, there are a couple of
dependencies not available on Trixie.

Also having got the dependencies, how do I use the files found on the
Tranquil IT github page ? I take it that somehow you use them to build
Openrsat, but how ? I have never built anything using pascal.
