Well, my problem thus far is that I'm not sure how things work when you
build the distribution.

I tried compiling the version of sbcl I found in the universe repo and
it failed.  Sbcl requires a lisp compiler to compile, so I downloaded
binary tarball of sbcl and used it to compile.  I know what the problem
is, but now what do I do?  Not sure who to send email to.

And how do I find out which version of lisp "they" use to build the sbcl
package?

Downloading from debian itself (a newer sbcl and a newer
common-lisp-control) worked fine, but this doesn't seem like a good way
to contribute to ubuntu.

I'm hungry.  Guess I'll have to think about it later.
