Considering:
jpuydt@newton:~$ dpkg -L maxima |grep lib
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/maxima
/usr/lib/maxima/5.29.1
/usr/lib/maxima/5.29.1/binary-gcl
/usr/lib/maxima/5.29.1/binary-gcl/maxima
/usr/lib/maxima/5.29.1/mgnuplot

I would say that it looks like maxima makes it pretty easy to support 
several common lisp backends.

Now, that doesn't make everything perfect at once, since the 
/usr/bin/maxima shell script can't magically know which variant we want, 
but if there's a "maxima-ecl" available, that would definitely make 
things manageable for the sage packaging effort.

What do the maxima maintainers think?
