That is what I thought.  So, Bruce, there is nothing stopping you from
packaging PolyORB for Debian.  The worst thing you may have to do is
sed 's/(pragma +Unreferenced)/--\1/g' all the source files.

Although I do not have the time to do it myself, feel free to ask me
questions and I'll try to help.  You may want to peruse my Debian
Policy for Ada[1].
