Bug#787420: cl-alexandria: Warning on compiling without the LICENCE input file

[Faré]

alexandria.asd declares LICENCE as a static-file, therefore the file
must be present or asdf3 will complain (unlike asdf2, and unlike asdf1
where most uses of static-file's were not even portable). If the issue
is disk space, the debian package could replace it with a symlink to a
shared version. Or it could remove the static-file from the .asd file.
But the current situation is a bug.

Statists seek the solution to all human problems in arbitrary political power
and bureaucracies above society. They choose to ignore that when they are not
all too human, politicians and bureaucrats are oh so inhuman.
