That's not entirely true.  In sarge, there are 3 Ada compilers
(gnat, gnat-3.3 and gnat-3.4), only one of which (gnat) supports
GLADE.  No Ada compiler is installed by default, and GLADE
requires an extra package.  To get started with GLADE, you need:

apt-get install gnat gnat-glade

and optionally:

apt-get install gnat-doc gnat-glade-doc

But I agree with you on one account: Debian supports GNAT well :)
