the patch is at least missing the ChangeLog entry. Also it is only tested using
the Debian package based on the 4.9 branch, and which includes a bunch of local
ada patches which are not forwarded upstream for years. Please prepare and test
your patch with current trunk for upstream submission.

I disagree. Debian's current local ada patches are a mess, and no effort is made
to cleanup these and forward these upstream. If the Debian Ada people can't do
this, please do it yourself.
