I considered packaging BUSH for Debian but decided not to spread
myself too thin (I already maintain ~18 packages, GCC and gnat-gps
being the largest two). IIRC, BUSH depends on the Booch Components,
which I also decided not to package for lack of time. Of course, if
anyone wants to package the Booch Components, BUSH, or any other fine
piece of Ada software, I'll be happy to answer questions and sponsor
the packages into the official Debian archive.
