[cl-debian] RFC: [DRAFT] Debian CL-Policy

Hi, there is the DESIGN.txt from common-lisp-controller and some documents describing Common Lisp packaging for Debian in the CLiki, but no central document. So I have started drafting something like a Common Lisp in Debian Policy [1], that describes the current package practises for CL and also sets some requirements for CL-packages in Debian. Not all packages comply with that document yet, cmucl for example does not provide a remove-clc in its cmucl.sh script, which I allowed myself to set as a requirement, because it is just "clean" to have it as a counterpart of to the required install-clc. However, once (and if) this document goes beyond its draft state, I'd of course come up with patches also. I'd like others to comment on this packaging manual. However: When writing this, I noticed that clc-{un,}register-user-package in /usr/sbin does not conform to the FHS. These should eventually be placed in /usr/bin, as they are of use for every regular user, not just for the system administrator. René [1] ftp://progn.org/pub/papers/cl-policy
