I think you are confusing FLORIST (an implementation of POSIX.5) with
GLADE (GNAT Library for Ada Distributed Execution) which was in Debian
3.1 and 4.0 under the name "gnat-glade". GLADE does not work with
gnat-4.3 and so we dropped it from Debian 5.0.

PolyORB is the successor to GLADE, so the answer is yes.
