However, there is one issue: I'm not clear 2011-1 is the best version
string.

The previous version was 1.3.0-2. AdaCore numbers their pro releases
this way, but now labels the GPL releases with years. Since the source
is actually from the GPL release, it seems better to use the year.

2011-1 is OK for me.

It would be difficult to figure out which of the pro releases (1.4.2,
1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2) is "closest" to 2011.

Too bad that the source repository for gprbuild is private.

I made no attempt to use the gnat project library in Debian, since the
gnat versions are so different between gnat-4.6 and gprbuild 2011.

gnat-4.6 is closest to GNAT GPL 2010. Even then it might be quite different from it. So you chose the best option; too bad for code reuse and modularity.

Thanks for all the fish :) please upload when you can.

BTW, where are you with your application as Debian Developer?
