Has anyone devised a setup to use gprinstall to install a library to
match the Debian Ada Policy?

I don't care so much (perhaps I should) about getting the sonames right,
but I'd like at least to get the library GPRs installed where Debian
looks for them.

At the moment, on jessie, gprinstall installs:

  Sources in   /usr/include/<library>/
  ALI files in /usr/lib/<library>/
  Objects in   /usr/lib/<library>/(for a relocatable library, a symlink to
               the so in /usr/lib/<library>/ is put in /usr/lib)
  GPRs in      /usr/share/gpr/

and at the very least GPRs should be in
/usr/share/ada/adainclude/. That's easy enough using
--project-dir=share/ada/adainclude, but what about the other
directories? (they need to be reasonably out of the way of anywhere that
Debian would install software).
