Comment (by mevenson):

 ASDF-JAR:PACKAGE and ASDF-JAR:ADD-TO-ASDF have been verified working as
 previously.

 The ASDF-JAR packaging system only works for those ASDF system which
 completely describe all of their source artifacts.  Unfortunately, some
 commonly used systems still use reader macros to do funky things in the
 ASDF definition that don't obey this distinction.  For instance, BORDEAUX-
 THREADS (version 0.8.3) uses the following read-time macro to attempt to
 set the version:
 {{{
 :version #.(with-open-file
                  (vers (merge-pathnames "version.lisp-expr" *load-
 truename*))
                (read vers))
 }}}
 This will fail, as the "version.lisp-expr" file is not declared in the
 ASDF definition.

 For systems such as these, a better strategy would be to simply
 recursively copy all the files from the directory containing the ".asd"
 file for inclusion.  See [https://bitbucket.org/easye/abcl-
 servlet/src/b0e7e5353d6c92a1990ed1bb5500be1bd919b341/src/lisp/prepare.lisp
 ABCL-SERVLET:PREPARE] for a packaging method that utilizes this strategy.
