You probably need to be careful about packages.  AdaCore's GNAT is different
from Debian's packages.  The treatment of configuration management has centralized control on the four usual Linux versions including Debian - Ubuntu;
AdaCore's GNAT follows a different model where the compilation units have
metadata.  The usual package managers do the metadata on the Linux distribution
packages, which almost certainly have coarser granularity than AdaCore.
There's the additional complexity of which release is being used by the
package maintainers.  It's a complex business.
