Announce: Debian Policy for Ada, First Edition

[Ludovic Brenta <ludovic.brenta@insalien.org>]

After receiving comments from several people, I have updated the
Debian Policy for Ada.  I deem it to be worthy of an official First
Edition.  This does not however mean that I will not accept any more
comments or contributions; these are always welcome.  Compared to
Draft 4, here are the changes:


Introduction:
* More contributors acknowdleged.

Choosing the GNAT compiler:
* New section: "History of GNAT".
* GNAT Pro: described the test suite used at ACT.
* GNAT Public releases: referred to the test suite.
* Timeline of GNAT Pro releases: mention the "wavefront" releases.
* Timeline of FSF releases: GCC 3.4.1 released.
* GLADE CVS repository at ACT-Europe mentioned.
* Ada 2005 features in GCC 3.4.

Policy for libraries:
* Turn the chapter into one node per section.
* New section: "Building libraries for reuse".
* New section: "Mandatory files provided by the -dev package", contains
  the former sections about source, object, *.ali, and library files,
  now in subsections.
* Mention recently added support for *.ali files in lintian, linda and
  dh_fixperms.
* Replace @code{} with @file{} in many places.
* Section "Shared libraries" renamed to "Files provided by the shared
  library package".


The Debian Policy for Ada is on my web site in HTML[1] and Texinfo[2]
formats.  In addition, I intend to upload it to Debian if my sponsor
agrees.  This means that it will be available a Debian package named
debian-ada-policy.  This package will include the document in Info,
ASCII and PDF formats in addition to HTML and Texinfo source.
