But gnatcoll doesn't have a Debian maintainer either and is not even packaged in Debian. If someone here on comp.lang.ada would like to make a difference, the one thing to know is that the sources of gnatcoll are part of the sources of GPS, therefore packaging gnatcoll for Debian requires modifying the packaging of gnat-gps; see http://bugs.debian.org/640532. As much as I would like to do that work myself, I lack time for it. PS. AFAIU, part of gnatcoll is built on top of GNADE (and includes a fork of GNADE). -- Ludovic Brenta.
