I am sorry, I do not understand what you are talking about.
Maybe you could supply a test case?

clisp comes with the file INSTALL in the top-level directory.
you mention debian, so clisp/INSTALL would refer you to clisp/unix/INSTALL 
which contains detailed, step-by-step instructions.

E.g.,

12. If you are lazy and have too few spare neurons to remember this long
     process, just use the shortcut, like I do:

          ./configure --with-module=rawsock --cbc build-dir

     this covers the build process through step 8 (except mod-check).

you cannot "compile in" all modules because some are platform-specific (e.g., 
bindings/win32 and bindings/glibc) and some conflict with each other (e.g., 
clx/mit-clx and clx/new-clx)

use "./configure --help-modules" to get the list of available modules.
