Here's the patch I've committed on my local release branch, but haven't pushed to common-lisp.net yet, pending maintainer approval.
That's fine with me; you have my blessing.
Kambiz, if you'd like to take over, that would be a huge help. I don't think I'm going to be able to maintain enough of a bleeding-edge install to be packaging.
Contact me off list if you need support and/or access to the repo.

Note that
1- the email listed at the end of the top entry of the changelog has to be the same as the person who's going to sign the package with his PGP key as registered on mentors.debian.net, before the package is uploaded. So if someone else is going to upload this or future packages, the address should be amended (and also added in the debian/control file).
2- lintian ../cl-asdf*.changes is your friend.
3- To create the package I'm using the version of the release script that's in master,
4- A good exercise in further bootstrapping ASDF would be convert bin/asdf-builder to a trivial cl-launch script + a system asdf-build (or meta-asdf? whatever), and the Makefile to a trivial wrapper that invokes it (except for the initial bootstrap of the concatenated build/asdf.lisp), and the Makefile targets into as many secondary systems of asdf-build. I'm refraining from doing more of it, since I'm moving to new projects.

That said, I can do the asdf debian package one last time for 3.1.2. I've experimented a bit and come up with a better recipe. Apparently the trick to avoid dealing with complications is to work in a branch where the only changes since the upstream release tag are in the debian/ directory. If you let me do it, I'll do it in the release branch. I updated the bin/asdf-builder script to do the release (moving code from the Makefile and making it better — scripting is SO much better in Lisp). Of course, the script as exists in the release branch is insufficient, and since it does a git clean -xfd we need to extract it from master under another name everytime. So: I committed some debian-only changes in my release branch (not pushed — but I can do it if you approve, and even upload), and ran: git show master:bin/asdf-builder > bin/x && chmod a+x bin/x && ./bin/x debian-package and it looks like it worked. I can push all that if you want, or show you how to do it. It's a matter of git checkout release ; git show master:debian/changelog > debian/changelog ; edit debian/changelog
I have never packaged for Debian, but I use it since rex (1996). With a bit of hand-holding, I might be able to do the packaging work.
Where can I fetch your changes?
