[Ping] Packages-arch-specific: please add architectures to Ada packages
It has been a week since I sent the request below, and I received no
answer. I am resending to the three maintainers of
Packages-arch-specific, and CCing debian-devel.
I've restricted the list of supported architectures to those where
gnat-4.1 not only exists but also builds its shared libraries. This
is because all other packages are, or depend on, shared libraries that
depend on libgnat.
