Indeed, gnat is the default, per Debian Policy for Ada.  In Sarge,
that was gnat 3.15p but now in Etch, it is almost empty and provides
just one symbolic link: /usr/bin/gnatgcc -> gcc-4.1.  Most importantly
it depends on the actual compiler package, gnat-4.1.

The other versions (3.3 .. 4.0) are older and no longer provided in
Debian.  They were never supported anyway.
