"GNU" and Ada

    Unfortunately, the last time I checked, there wasn't any instructions
    how to create an official GNU package, so this is just shifting the
    problem.

I as Chief GNUisance am the one who officially dubs a program a GNU
package.  I never saw a need to write instructions for myself ;-).

However, since I am not an Ada expert, I think I should appoint a
person or group to judge Ada packages and decide which ones to label
as GNU packages.  Dewar, would you like to recruit a person or group
for this?

    What about (Ada) packages interfacing to free software which is not
    published as a GNU package?

I don't quite understand what the question is--could you try saying
it again in different words?
