This may be fine on operating systems that lack a package manager but this contradicts the
Debian Ada Policy, which requires all Ada packages to depend on the same gnat compiler.
Therefore, please package alire in such a way that the binary package depends on, and uses,
the existing Debian packages i.e. gnat-12, libgnatcoll21 and libxmlezout7 at run-time, and
build-depends and uses the corresponding -dev packages at compile time.
