Where should install we SLIME by default? A writable directory would be the easiest for us; not sure if distributors like that.
I think Emacs has a canonical place for site local .el and .elc files.
As for the swank end, if it was just a tad more ASDF friendly (no compiling at all when you start SLIME), then writable directory wouldn't be an issue. It could perhaps be made to work with Debian's Common Lisp Controler and with the Lisps that support ASDF-INSTALL.
