ly the correct answer to this question, but Ludovic Brenta doesn't post her=

Well, then perhaps he should spend less time on sandwiches and more time ma=
intaining this webpage:

https://people.debian.org/~lbrenta/debian-ada-policy.html#Help-wanted

No updates since 2014 make this championing of Ada on Debian appear morribu=
nd to the casual observer who happens to visit this flagship webpage for th=
e Ada-on-Debian effort.

(Thank you very much, Ludovic, for all your efforts=E2=80=94both past & cur=
rent.  The nudging is meant to be a polite gentle reminder.)
