Well. During configuration, clisp uses the -orig file  to load and install 
common-lisp-controller and then priduce the lispinit.mem file.

But be aware the common-lisp-controller before version 4.26 would not 
correctly propagate a failure to configure back to dpkg, so the packaging 
system might think clisp got configured while in fact it did not.

Could you try to run 
/usr/sbin/register-common-lisp-implementation "clisp"
as root and report the generated output? Does it still fail after this?

Groetjes, Peter
