Thanks for all your work and help.

Perhaps it is time to lobby for a special exception to the "maintainers
can't upload new packages" rule?

Since these packages are "new" only in the sense that the aliversion has
changed, perhaps we could be allowed to upload them.

Proposed rule:

    If a binary package build-depends on gnat (ie, it is an Ada
    package), and the package name changes only by incrementing a number
    (ie it is an aliversion change [ref debian ada policy]), then it is
    not considered a new package for the upload queues.
