org.emacs.ada-mode/build/Makefile has rules for creating a (local) ELPA archive.

There are notes at the start of the Makefile about the code not yet being as 
clean as it could be.

But, I'm not sure that the wisi part is necessary for a prebuilt Debian 
package? It (& the sal, makerules workspaces) are needed for the build; the 
executables and ada_lr1_parse_table.txt would end in the compiler's 
$prefix/bin, & the .el/.elc where Emacs will find them.
