Deep_Tag_Finalize was removed during the First Giant Merge of AdaCore
to the GCC sources on October 21, 2003 (Subversion commit 72751).

Therefore I infer that the Debian distro you speak of is Debian 3.1
"Sarge" where the compiler is gnat 3.15p.  All versions after that
(i.e. gnat-4.1 in Debian 4.0 "Etch") lack Deep_Tag_Finalize.

Unfortunately you are probably not going to like my advice: rewrite
the GC part of AdaCL to match the more recent versions of GCC and GNAT
GPL Edition.
