No; it is Debian policy to respect upstream authors' wishes. It is up
to the users to decide for themselves whether or not the license suits
them. Every package in Debian is required to have the license in the
file /usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright, so that users know where to
look.
It is also Debian policy not to ship non-free software; GPL software
is certainly free.
However it is also Debian policy to listen to our users; that's what
I'm doing right now.

OK, I'll count that as (another) -1 for gnat-gpl, and no other votes.
