I'm just an observer, but don't we want it to be possible for Debian
users to `apt-get install clojure`?  And leiningen should probably
`Depends: clojure` because it will work with any installed version.

So maybe each of the clojure1.X packages should `Provides: clojure`.
(That will allow leiningen to depend, though I'm not completely sure
that it will let users `apt-get install clojure`.)
