No idea.  It is a part of the Debian package with AWS.  Here's the
non-comment part of it:

-----
with "/usr/share/ada/adainclude/xmlada.gpr";
project AWS is
   for Source_Dirs use ("/usr/share/ada/adainclude/aws");
   for Object_Dir use "/usr/lib/ada/adalib/aws";
   Ada_Switches := "-laws";
   package Linker is
      for Default_Switches ("Ada") use (Ada_Switches);
   end Linker;
end AWS;

2.0p-4 in Debian.

I thought so too before I starte trying to use them, but it is my
experience that they create more problems than they solve.
