Absolutely. Packaged Ada for Debian and Fedora is a great relief to the
situation of not so distant times when GNAT GPL was the only, very
uncomfortable, option for Linux.
Yet, there is still the problem that people wishing to make their work
available to public must nonetheless dive deep down into the mess of dbpkg
and rpmbuild. Something should be done about it. If we could not bring
Linux Ada policies in order, we should have some backend for the GPR which
would automate packaging.
