TBH, since I don't use GPS and only had a cursory look at it, this
one-line entry box never struck me as odd until you complained about it.
IIUC, the Ada page should be full of check boxes and other nifty
widgets, right?

In addition I see this in the Messages pane:

Welcome to GPS 4.3-5+b1 (Debian) hosted on x86_64-linux-gnu
the GNAT Programming Studio
(c) 2001-2008 AdaCore

This seems like a bug in the gnat-gps package that should not be present
in the GNAT GPL 2010 binary distribution.  Was that what you meant?

Anyway I've filed a bug report and will try to find the time to correct
that.  See http://bugs.debian.org/596385
