Bug#401385: libgnat-4.1: libgnat needs a shared debugging version, to be placed in /usr/lib/debug

Hi Kevin,
Thank you so much for the patch. I have reviewed it after returning
from vacation and it seems fine, at least at first glance. I will
apply the patch when I get around to working on GCC again. I'll do
that after Etch is released; now everything is frozen anyway.

Right; I was aware that we used level 4, but not of the changes that
implied. Thanks for investigating and warning us ahead of the
transition to level 5.

No; just wait until I've applied the patch and Matthias decides to
upload (gnat uploads are coordinated with gcc and gcj).
BTW, would you consider joining Debian as a maintainer? I'm looking
for co-maintainers for Ada packages. Be warned that the process of
becoming a full Debian developer is a multi-year one :/ but you can
contribute without being a DD, as you just proved.
