Dear Maintainer,

This package depends on an old gnat version that is not supported on newer
architectures. Currently it doesn't build on ppc64el because ppc64el support
started on GCC/GNAT 4.8, so, I would like if you can increase the gnat version
on the dependencies, to a more recent version.

I am providing a patch that changes the dependencies from version 4.6 to 4.8.

If you don't like this change and you would want to continue to use the current 
gnat version, I would request to change the dependencies for ppc64el, so, 
we are going to be able to build this package on ppc64el architecture. You can 
do that using something like:

-Depends: gnat-4-6
+Depends: gnat-4.6 [!ppc64el] | gnat-4.9 [ppc64el]

Thank you,
Breno
