because I could not figure what your patches actually did, and building
without it just worked.
I didn't manually close the bug (that I would have otherwise do) because
I believe that's the maintainer responsability.

I also didn't close #835966 because, well, the package is in mess right
now.

fine by me :)
Though if you do please start by maintaining it in git somewhere¹ with
gbp and do senseful commits, as otherwise I fear whatever you'd do would
be too big to review sanely.
Also keep in mind that I know nothing about ada, nor its policy.


Thank you for your interest!


¹ if that Vcs repository is not useful please import all the package
