Having CLSQL as the backend of USQL would be great, yes! It'd be very
nice if you could release your code.

However, I'm not sure if packaging all this into one package is such a
good idea. Many people just want the base functionality of CLSQL
without the CLOS integration of USQL. I think it's better if there is
a USQL Debian package which just depends on CLSQL.
