Actually, I'm really impressed with the job you've been doing packaging GNAT for Debian. I have it installed, too, but I've never felt comfortable polluting my system's environment with libraries, etc, that I'm just playing around with. I _do_ use the Debian- supplied compilers to test code that I've written, to make sure that it doesn't break in a ``clean'' environment. I think I originally compiled my current installation of GNAT-from-GCC because I wanted to try out the AVR libraries, and found that I just felt more comfortable building other Ada libs from source in my local toolchain. Of course, there is the whole maintenance issue, but that's the price I pay for control. Personally, I _really_ prefer building from scratch, ala Linux From Scratch, but haven't had the time to devote to that recently. If only the Hurd were stable enough to build and maintain a production environment from sources; then I'd be really happy.
