12 packages, at last count.  Still less than in Debian-style cclan,
but it's hard to tell how much of Debian-style cclan is actually up to
date w.r.t its source packages: e.g. we have onshore stuff in there which
has been been superseded, we have an old clocc port (as you pointed
out in the bit I deleted), we even have openmcl packages!

Oh, and several versions of common-lisp-controller ...

I would like to pretend that in the very near future you will be able
to do this as a query to cliki - at least to get the package names and
urls for the current version of each.  I don't know how far off "very
near" is, mind you.  Days rather than weeks, but possibly as many as
seven of them.

My suspicion is that the tar.gz->deb converter is probably a higher
priority for many people, actually.  But I'm not actually working on
it myself anyway, so nyer nyer nyer.
