Nice writeup :) but I wanted to clarify this:

Debian provides both static and shared versions of all libraries, per
general Debian Policy (not specific to Ada).  The shared libraries are
in their own packages.  The static libraries are in the corresponding
development packages along with the source files necessary to build and
link programs against both the static and shared libraries.

Thus, the Debian package libgnatvsn4.x-dev contains all the *.ads,
*.adb, *.ali files, a *.gpr project file, *and* the static library
libgnatvsn.a.  This library also contains version.o resulting from
building GCC with all the necessary C preprocessor macros, and thus
version.o is guaranteed consistent with GCC.
