We cannot comment on Ubuntu. The rest of this email is only about
Debian stable.

I hope and suppose you have reported these bugs to AdaCore? Maybe they
can support you.

No. You can however install Debian 10 "Buster" in a chroot or as your
main operating system; this includes a complete Ada suite based on
gnat-8, gnat-gps and Python 2.

No. 15 years after being declared dead, Python 2 was removed from
Debian 11 "Bullseye", the current stable version, and so we had to
remove gnat-gps, which still depends on it.

We have no plans for Ubuntu.
We do have plans for the next Debian 12 "Bookworm". This includes
gnat-11 as the Ada compiler; all Ada packages are being migrated now.
If and when AdaCore complete the migration of GnatStudio to Python 3, we
will try to re-include it in Debian. There is still a chance that this
happens in time for Debian 12 i.e. before January 2023, see
https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html.
