Not started yet, I've been working on other packages. Your mail
prompted me to send a full status report to , see

Great.

Per Debian Policy for Ada, all Ada source packages must build-depend on
both gnat gnat gnat-4.6. The reasons are explained in there:

http://people.debian.org/~lbrenta/debian-ada-policy.html

Why on both? This seems to just make transitions more painful (to you)… Why
not at least alternatives (aka B-D: gnat-4.6 | gnat ), or simply "not-
versioned" (aka B-D: gnat). Any Debian suite has one available gnat at any
given time (per the above policy), no ? The same goes for binary packages
depends.

Anyway; I don't intend to stand in your path; I was mostly interested in
getting those RC bugs fixed. As long as they get fixed before the freeze (or
the given packages removed from testing), I'm fine. :->

Cheers,
OdyX
