I only want a set of switches that will make gprinstall do something
that works on Debian with the system compiler (no problem if using GNAT
GPL, of course, since the default setup is what GNAT GPL expects) and
doesn't trample over other software.

Is the Fedora equivalent of the Debian Ada policy written up anywhere?

But I'm not going to distribute binary library packages for any Linux
flavours. So I don't need to understand .deb, .rpm, etc etc. I just want
the _source_ packages to be easily installable.
