>Ok, I built it from sources using its last release from github.

That's a great start. :)

>Could I help to make this package working?

Of course. :)

If you don't have prior experience with packaging, I would start looking
at the Ubuntu packaging guide http://packaging.ubuntu.com/. Particularly
the chapter which packages a small sample
http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html which
should give an overview of how things work.

Once you get that example working, you can start looking at how ghdl was
packaged and work on upgrading it. Try to download the old ghdl package
(the latest version before it was removed) and use the packaging
information (the debian-folder) with the latest release. This sometimes
require to patch the software or update the packaging information. For
instance the list of dependencies will need to be updated with gnat-4.9
as you already mentioned, though there might be other changes.

With a working package, it can be submitted for inclusion in the Ubuntu
archives.
