Oh, you say this file would be created for every Lisp package. I thought
it would only be for the standalone binary case, because the "regular"
asdf-build-system/sbcl used for Lisp libraries ships the sources and its
make-asdf-configuration phase creates links to the required Lisp
dependencies in '/gnu/store/...', so there should not be missing
references.

I just wondered: does the grafting code take '.fasl' files into
consideration?
If yes, I guess a Lisp library could also end up in a strange
half-grafted state if the grafting code modifies ASCII references and
not UTF-32 ones...
