So we have two serious proposals (aside from my initial idea):
- all Ada packages Suggest: ada-compiler and gnat; this helps
users find them by browsing interactively.
- a meta-package (or two) depending on all Ada packages: this
helps users install all packages with one aptitude command
(i.e. "aptitude install ada-developers-toolbox").
The second solution requires much more maintenance in the future.
Also the list of "blessed" packages might become contentious :)
I suggest we drop it for the time being and instead implement
the Suggests: in the Debian Policy for Ada and add an appendix
explaining how to take advantage of the Suggests.
OK?
