To be able to install a compiler in its own directory and to be able to
have multiple compilers installed at the same time.

The scheme is something like:

/opt/GNAT/<ver>
  /bin                 <- binaries there
  /lib/gnat/           <- project files there (GNAT looks there)
  /lib/gnat/<project>  <- if needed sub-project files
  /lib/<project>       <- .o .ali .a .so for <project>
  /lib                 <- sym links to .a and .so above
  /include/<project>   <- .ads/.adb for <project>
  /share/doc/<project> <- documentation
  /share/gps/plug-ins  <- .xml for GPS customization (doc, tools)

That will be lot of them and you won't be able to support multiple
compilers. But maybe this is not a requirement for Debian.

Pascal.
