As I'm not a Debian user, I'm probably not the right person to answer
this question.

I suppose that the Common Lisp Controler is the recommended tool to be
used (http://pkg-common-lisp.alioth.debian.org/clid/clid.html), but for
our purposes it should suffice to replace the asdf.lisp file included in
stumpwm with a link to /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-asdf/asdf.lisp
(which is part of the package cl-asdf).

As long as no particular mapping rules have been defined, ASDF now saves
fasl files under ~/.cache/common-lisp, where you have write permissions.
