The packages are not by Ubuntu; they are by me and are from Debian.
The problem is that Ubuntu 8.04 breaks some dependencies by not
providing certain packages, as you discovered. If you want a stable
development platform for Ada, your life would me much simpler if you
would use Debian stable, which contains AWS precompiled with no broken
dependencies.
If you want the bleeding edge (i.e. gnat-4.3 and more recent
packages), use Debian unstable. Ubuntu lags behind Debian; that's what
you get for using a derivative and not the original :)
