``debian-common-lisp'' instead, because ``debian-lisp'' could be
construed for other Lisp dialects.

But, AFAIK, no serious coordination efforts for any of them. And every
Scheme compiler is its own separate language, for most practical
purposes. (This can be dealt with, but it is somewhat more difficult).
