The current packages aren't entirely consistent. libasis keeps the .ads
and .adb files in /usr/lib/asis/ along with the .ali files.
It might also be worth looking at Florian Weimer's proposed 'GNU Ada
Environment Specification'[1], which proposes a different layout, with
.ads and .adb files under /usr/{lib,share}/ada/adainclude, and .ali and
.a files under /usr/lib/adalib.
I believe this structure comes from the Ada for Linux Team's RPMs, by
Jürgen Pfeifer [2].
