A similar situation is in one of my packages, stumpwm, and it was
corrected by the ancient maintainer, as per bug #323936 [1].

BTW, as the dependency is there, I'd remove the duplicated suggestion
for the same packages:
=====
luca at gismo:~$ apt-cache show cl-mcclim
Package: cl-mcclim
[...]
Depends: common-lisp-controller (>= 3.37), cmucl-source | cl-clx-sbcl, cl-spatial-trees (>= 0.1-2)
Suggests: cl-mcclim-doc, cl-mcclim-examples, cmucl-source, cl-clx-sbcl
[...]
luca at gismo:~$ 
=====

For stumpwm, I clearly stated in the description what you need:
=====
luca at gismo:~$ apt-cache show stumpwm
Package: stumpwm
[...]
Depends: common-lisp-controller (>= 5.11), cl-port, cl-clx-sbcl | cmucl-source
[...]
Description: a Common Lisp window manager
[...]
 Please ensure that you install compatible implementations of CL and
 CLX.  That means either install sbcl and cl-clx-sbcl or cmucl and
 cmucl-source.
[...]
luca at gismo:~$ 
=====

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
