I just feel that if an Ada (gnat) based project is going
to gain any package-level respect from the maintainers
of Debian/etc., it will need to be autoconf ready.

This becomes especially crucial when you try to make the
project build under HPUX, Solaris, AIX and OSX in addition
to usual Linux/*BSD lineup. The environments are different 
enough to frustrate any simple minded configuration 
management system.
