Thanks a lot, Sam. Since this is back-patting time, I'll mention that
one of the many benefits of Debian is the backports of bug fixes into
Debian's default gnat compiler; Samuel is the author of most of these,
as is visible in both GCC's and Debian's bug databases. And Samuel was
the previous maintainer of Ada in Debian before Ubuntu even existed,
so he knows what he's talking about.
