The issue is that libgnat* contain some data at library level that are
used to parse gpr files, but also used to process ASIS. In the
adadesigner case, both are done at the same time, and there were conflicts.
My roadmap is to change gnatgpr behaviour trying to avoid those
conflicts. This would allow me all patches concerning 1.
Achieving this should be mandatory before being included in Debian.
I will come back when this is done.
