Indeed gcc-11 is also on the way out, so I had no choice but to use
gcc-12.

I have just uploaded ghdl 2.0.0-1 to experimental. I would have liked it
to go into unstable but with the build dependency on gnat it was not
possible since I use the debian_packaging.mk that is only in gnat (not
gnat-12). Anyway, ghdl is ready for the gnat 12 transition.
