Bug#920246: strict dependency on libgnat-8



Package: src:gcc-8
Version: 8.2.0-14

dh_makeshlibs for libgnat-8 is called as

  dh_makeshlibs -p$(p_lgnat) -V '$(p_lgnat) (>= $(DEB_VERSION))'

generating a very strict dependency, requiring the package that it was built
with. Is this really needed, or can we loosen that somehow?

There shouldn't be any ABI changes in libgnat-8 once it is released. So maybe
omitting the release number, using the upstream version number is good enough?

The current behavior stalls migration of packages to testing until the gcc-8
package itself migrates to testing.
