I can't make my packages just for Debian, however I can ease life of 
Debian maintainers. And GNAE documentation was removed from website. I'm 
not sure if I can rely on it. Adaproject seems to be unmaintained. I 
wasn't able to install it with just ./configure-make-make install. 
../config.status replaces @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 with /usr/local which is OK, but 
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 with ${prefix} which is not OK in the resulting shell 
script file. Adaproject's out-of-box licenses are just BSD & GPL. No any 
GMGPL. I might have better luck with raw Autotools.

I have found old similar topic:

http://groups.google.ru/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_frm/thread/ab5f27c42c253ac5/1500582f20e9b1b8?hl=ru&tvc=1

I had an impression that virtually nobody cares about Ada packages' 
usage on a non-standard platform like Mac OS X.

Consider this example:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2137.html

 > env CFLAGS="-O -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch \
 > i386 -arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc"   ./configure \
 > --prefix=${HOME}/Hello --disable-dependency-tracking
That's how average GNU autotools-based packages are compiled on Mac OS 
X. Autotools' generated packages were flexible enough to make it 
possible to compile many of them without headaches. ./configure 
invocation is virtually the same for the most of Autotools packages. You 
can even make a proxy script that sets these CFLAGS&LDFLAGS&configure 
parameters to make its invokation shorter. My aim is to write such a 
line for an ideal Ada-containing package. I'd like to make my Ada 
packages OS-agnostic but easily tunable for my OS.
