I wasn't the OP and I'm literally stuck with 3.15p for some time. So the 3.15p docs are OK with me :-). And I'm -- out of principle and bad experience -- only filing bugs into debian bug tracking that I myself experienced. Sarge does have gnat-doc, Sarge is the stable version. And BTW: The separation into non-free and free is OK with me (I basically support the policy behind that), but, your and the other maintainers merits notwirthstanding, a "free" compiler, which unfortunately comes without docs ("and we don't care for that") is a bit of an imposition.
