The directory name may not contain the Debian revision ("-1"). It should
work if you use "clisp-1997.08.07" for the directory (note that dash "-").
That's because the directory name should not have to be changed if you
make a new Debian version.

No, the idea is to change only very few files. But often it's necessary to
change Makefiles, etc. Of course, if there is a "Makefile.in" from a GNU
configure-based source, you should never modify "Makefile" but
"Makefile.in", since the first will be overwritten with the next
call to "configure".
