/me too.

SLIME had this problem for a while, but IIRC it was solved with the
patch at [1], which seems to not have been applied yet.  We need to
push it upstream again.

I didn't check the Debian cl-mcclim sources yet, so I don't know how
its maintainer solved the problem, thus I cc:ed him :-)

I replied to that bug because IMHO it was the one that trigger your
changes to c-l-c.  Maybe the best thing is to leave the
*redirect-fasl-files-to-cache* variable (a fix that closes #384457),
but default it to t (the simplest solution for a normal user and for
the CL-Debian packages), documenting its behavior in README.Debian
(and maybe NEWS.Debian, too, thus it appears during upgrades).

Just my 0.02€...

Thx, bye,
