At the risk of repeating myself, gnat is only the foundation of the
ecosystem of packages and is in fact pretty irrelevant. You should look
at the gnat-gps package, which depends on almost everything else, to get
an accurate idea of what each distro carries.
And yes, I am aware of the differences between stable and testing, thank
