Hi Sam!

Thank you for having digged in the Debian BTS.

Let me explain a bit the situation: CLISP is now maintained in a team
fashion [1] and since Peter Van Eynde doesn't have a lot of free time
lately, I'll step in at least trying to solve all the Debian RC bugs
[2].  This is my primary concern, since if a package has an RC bug it
means that it won't be considered for the next stable release.  And I
don't want that to happen.

That's why I haven't investigated yet all the other CLISP bugs and FWIW
nor all non-RC bugs in the other Common Lisp packages.  However, when I
found a trivial bug, I solved it.

Coming back to CLISP, I'll try to send bugs upstream in the future, at
least those who I identify as 'upstream' and not Debian ones.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
