Actually, I'm really impressed with the job you've been doing
packaging GNAT for Debian. I have it installed, too, but I've never
felt comfortable polluting my system's environment with libraries,
etc, that I'm just playing around with. I _do_ use the Debian-
supplied compilers to test code that I've written, to make sure that
it doesn't break in a ``clean'' environment.

I think I originally compiled my current installation of GNAT-from-GCC
because I wanted to try out the AVR libraries, and found that I just
felt more comfortable building other Ada libs from source in my local
toolchain. Of course, there is the whole maintenance issue, but
that's the price I pay for control. Personally, I _really_ prefer
building from scratch, ala Linux From Scratch, but haven't had the
time to devote to that recently. If only the Hurd were stable enough
to build and maintain a production environment from sources; then I'd
be really happy.
