Okay. Thank you for the explanation. I just found it a bit strange that a cl-* package does not contain an asd file, especially when one is already provided by the upstream (https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/). Interesting that the ASDF package itself has no asd file! Perhaps the maintainer(s) should consider including an asd file to avoid surprises like this.
