It's at http://www.ada-france.org/debian/adamode-4.0.tar.gz

The version number, 4.0, is my own invention.  I figured that a new
major version was justified by the dropping of .adp files, which
changes the external interface in an incompatible way.

Please, let's avoid a fork if possible.  Let's propose the changes
upstream, i.e. to the emacs development team at
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs.

I don't have time for that right now, and it is not my priority, so
please seomebody take the lead.
