I maintain the debian package now.  I just install the lisp code into
the system.  The contrib dir can be determined by asdf2 at runtime.
But I configure it in the packaging script currently.  Debian's
version number is in debian/changelog, the packaging script extracts
it then generates version.lisp again.
