Hello. During the gnat-10 transition, the release team suggested a change in order to help the automatic migration from unstable to testing of all Ada packages at once. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=975589#24
Currently, the policy requires that Package: lib...-dev Depends: gnat, gnat-X The suggestion is to replace this with: Depends: gnat (>= X), gnat (<< X+1) This seems equivalent. Unless someone objects, I suggest to update the policy. Then, I intend to try the following changes in experimental. * libxmlada gprbuild: change ada:Depends in debian/rules * dh-ada-library: change ada:Depends in src/dh_ada_library.adb. Let’s say the new version is 7.5. If all tests pass, the following changes seem trivial enough to be part of the collective reupload to unstable. * adasockets plplpto: manually edit the dependency * for each library that Build-Depends: dh-sequence-ada-library, simply add Build-Depends: dh-ada-library (>= 7.5).
