I'm having no problem with the version of SLIME in Debian testing a
few weeks ago (not sure if the version mentioned has transitioned in
from Debian unstable).  I didn't have much initially luck with the
forking of SLIME and cl-swank into separate pieces, but the september
packaging (all in one) works for me.

(by "not working", I didn't figure out at that point how to get clisp
and cmucl working, just sbcl -- I've done so since, but not had time
to upgrade and test out of a working system!)
