Currently, synaptic gives an empty list when searching for

Yes.
Wouldn't my suggestion of a dummy "Ada developer's
complete toolbox" package solve this?
Yes; I think I'll try to implement your suggestion when I
get around to it. The problem is that this meta-package
would require maintenance.
How will you decide what to include in it?
If a -dev package follows the Debian policy for Ada (and
contains Ada source code), then it is clearly a candidate.
I would of course also include "ada-compiler" in the
dependencies.
In addition to this I would consider various tools for Ada
programmers such as "ada-mode" (for Emacs) and "gnat-gps".
One might split it in two:
- "build-depends-ada" depending only on "ada-compiler" and
the "-dev" packages.
- "ada-developers-toolbox" depending on "build-depends-ada"
as well as "ada-mode", "gnat-gps" and other tools for Ada
programmers.
Greetings,
Jacob
