Currently common-lisp-controller is a key package, because at least one 
of its reverse (build-)dependencies is. So autoremoval will not happen. 
If you want it to be removed, the remaining key packages will have to be

cl-speech-dispatcher in testing and unstable has
Depends: cl-regex, common-lisp-controller
