I haven't noticed anyone else taking an interest in the GNAT packages
since they were orphaned (except I briefly considered the idea: in the

I'd also suggest looking at the thread starting at
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2002/debian-gcc-200208/msg00151.html
(The newer GNAT stuff is likely to come from the gcc3 line of packages.)
