Ah - success! I could not get asdf to work - see note below since it may be helpful to understand why - but quicklist just worked ... (thanks for the tip Nick)

asdf needs to be told where your software is when that software isn't at one of the standard places (which include ~/common-lisp/ in its asdf 3.1 and later, but not in earlier versions of asdf; ~/.local/share/common-lisp/source/ is in all versions since asdf 2.0). See the manual for how to configure your source-registry.
Note that while the central registry is still supported, it is actively disrecommended to use the ASDF 1 style: (setf asdf:*central-registry* '(*default-pathname-defaults*)) This defeats the desired reproducibility of locating source code.
Instead, try e.g. to have your ~/config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf as follows: (:source-registry (:tree (:home "some/subdirectory/")) :inherit-configuration)
