It was the only package using libgtkada1, and libgtkada1 was orphaned (i.e. no longer maintained) and also removed. The maintainer for GVD did not have time to either adopt libgtkada1, or port GVD to libgtkada2. This is not a big problem tough, since GVD has been superceded by the GNAT Programming System, which is in testing now. If, however, you would like to contribute some time to re-include GVD into Debian, you are most welcome to do so. -- Ludovic Brenta.
