Well, please do so. If the code is indeed illegal, I have a leg to stand
on when I go to the developer and tell him to change it. Telling him to
change it just to make gnat like it and make my life easier is a much
harder sell.

What parituclarly is illegal? Do all children of private packages now
have to be private? Or is it just illegal to "with" a public child of a
private package outside of the source tree rooted at the private parent?

I'll submit a bug report to the appropriate vendor, if I can get a
consensus on who that is. :-)
