I believe this can be fixed quite easily.  Open a bug against music123
to ask the maintainer to use the default Ada compiler.  This package
violates the Debian Policy for Ada :)

These don't count.

ghdl is a VHDL front-end to GCC, and so depends on a particular
version of the GCC back-end.  Since it is written in Ada, it requires
the Ada run-time.  Strangely, upstream's latest version, 0.21, uses
GCC 4.0.2 as its back-end, and 0.21 is in unstable.  How come it still
requires libgnat-3.4 in Debian?  Sounds like a case for another bug.

Matthias, what do you suggest?
