Florian Weimer has put together a proposal for this.  Details are
available at http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/files/ada/gnae/gnae-0.5.html.

I have followed the recommendations in my Debian packages.  Basically:

*.ad[bs]      go in /usr/share/ada/adainclude/<package_name>/
*.ali and *.o go in /usr/lib/ada/adalib/<package_name>/
*.a and *.so  go in /usr/lib

And I've added:

*.gpr         go in /usr/share/ada/adainclude/
