Sorry, i _hate_ to do this, but there comes another error report:

I think you maybe shouldn't invoke  dh_installdocs for both  binary-indep
and binary-arch (but don'T quote me on this: i'm not a debhelper expert).
The problem manifests in the (autogenerated) scripts ....postinst.debhelper.
Hmm, how did this escape the allmighty build daemons?

Oh, one more tip (frustrating experience for me): building with SBCL 0.8.19.22
i needed to 'export LANG=en_US.UTF-8', otherwise the build would fail ....
Maybe this could be checked for in the build script.
