no, this was not the cause, and this can happen as well if the symlink
is provided in the base package.

I see that gnat-4.3 doesn't depend on cpp-4.3 (anymore?), however
gnat-4.3 does recommend libc6-dev, which recommends gcc, so this
shouldn't be a problem for the common cases. It's difficult to have
gnat-4.3 installed without having cpp-4.3 installed, at least for the
default gcc.
