You should install all the lisp files in
/usr/share/common-lisp/source/<package>.  No need to configure .asd
file, ASDF2 will find all asd files in the directory above.

Other files should be installed according to FHS & Debian Policy.  The
script in /usr/bin/ simply run a CL implementation, e.g. SBCL, and
SBCL will find .asd file using ASDF2.
