In cases like these I have found the Debian package dependencies
listings useful:

$ apt-cache search glade | grep ada

This turns up a number of packages. Among these are
libgtkada-gllade-2.8 and libgtkada2-dev.
Looking at their respective lists of dependencies makes
me think that all necessary libraries for writing Gtk
programs with Ada will be drawn in when you install them.

Have you tried the Synaptic Package Manger, or dselect?
(The latter is only for those who would agree that vi is
really a powerful editing programs :-)
