I'm looking for a sponsor for any one of three packages. I've requested a sponsor for salonify several times in the past with no luck, so I thought I'd try two new packages that perhaps will have broader appeal. They are fairly simple programs and packages, and all pass linda and lintian. I also

I forgot to say another thing about the GNU Ada Environment Specification. While I can live with /usr/share/ada/adainclude and /usr/lib/ada/adalib, I definitely disagree with putting the libraries in /usr/lib/ada/adalib. The Debian Policy clearly states that both static and shared libraries
