I had a look to see if a trivial fix was possible for this, but got discouraged by two things 1) There is a call to "register-common-lisp-source ilisp" in the postinst. Presumably that needs to be removed, since it doesn't exist anymore once the pre-depends is removed. But at that point I'd just be guessing, so I stopped. 2) The generated single patch is a monster, at almost 10k lines. Among other things, it seems to contain thousands of lines of whitespace fixes to upstream. I guess I'm being a bit fussy, but I'm not happy about uploading a package when I can't really understand the differences from upstream.
