LGTM.

Something that maybe wasn’t discussed is the package naming convention.
So far we usually prefix packages that provide libraries by the language
or implementation name: “python-”, “emacs-”, “guile-”, etc.  For
packages that provide standalone programs the convention is to use the
program name: “stumpwm”, “darcs”, “guix”, etc.

Perhaps we could use the “cl-” prefix for source packages, and then the
“sbcl-” and “ecl-” prefixes (instead of suffixes) for binaries?

That would make you change this patch series and I understand that may
not make you happy though.  :-)
