Well, I've already got a package generated using the lein-deb plugin.
I read a few tutorials on Debian packaging, but they were totally
indecipherable to me as they assumed familiarity with GNU Make and
autotools, but Travis Vachon set up a "debian" branch in the Leiningen
repository:
https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/tree/debian
There are three known problems with it:
* As mentioned, Clojure and Contrib are too old in Debian, so the jars
are included in Leiningen itself.
* The libmaven-ant-tasks-java package in Debian seems to be broken; it
doesn't declare any of its dependencies. Again, I was able to bundle
the jar and its dependencies in the Leiningen .deb.
* Leiningen 1.6 is not finished! =)
I went ahead and generated a .deb of a recent snapshot anyway:
http://p.hagelb.org/leiningen_1.6.0.20110525_all.deb
It seems to work fine, but as it was generated by the lein-deb plugin
I have no idea if it follows the necessary policies. If you could give
it a review that would be great.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Leiningen is an application, not a
library, so I'm not sure why a libclojure-leiningen package is
relevant. The elisp that ships with Leiningen is pretty trivial; it's
just a completion library for eshell. There is also a bash completion
mechanism which may be nice to package, but those could be done later.
thanks,
Phil
