I suspect you are going to have to write a custom indentation
function. 

It's easy to disable all indentation on return; just rebind the return
key.

But what you are asking for is more complicated. I suspect the
ada-mode with emacs 21 got "smarter", and therefore now does more than
you want.

You can retrieve the ada-mode source from an old distribution of
Emacs, but it's pretty dense (I've tried to fix indentation issues
myself), so that probably won't help much.

Post a few actual examples of "before", "after" and "desired"; maybe
I'll have an idea.
