I am a core developer of ClanLib.
Yes, if I remember correctly, the main reason the nobody has packaged ClanLib 2 for debian, is that there are few free games that require it.
Although I believe that there is a package for fedora (since I have personally received a XLib related patch for it)
Correct, Fedora currently has ClanLib-2.3.4 as well as ClanLib-1.0.0 and ClanLib-0.6.5,
all packaged so that they are parallel installable.
ClanLib-2.3.4 is used by methane and openalchemist
ClanLib-1.0.0 is used by ballbuster and trophy (I need to rebase trophy to the latest release, not sure if that changes which ClanLib version it wants)
ClanLib-0.6.5 is used by auriferous and clanbomber
I don't know which of these games are missing from Debian, I can
personally recommend getting auriferous (please see the Fedora
packages for a ton of fixes) and methane into Debian.

Hans
