StumpWM doesn't technically need sbcl. It needs an implementation of
Common Lisp, and CLX (the Common Lisp X interface, basically Xlib for
Common Lisp).

The stumpwm package Depends on common-lisp-controller, which helps with
making sure there's a CL compiler, and cl-clx-sbcl | cmucl-source |
clisp, which are the packages that contain CLX for three different CL
implementations, sbcl, cmucl, and clisp, respectively.

However, common-lisp-controller just Suggests sbcl, and cl-clx-sbcl just
Recommends sbcl, which is why your situation is happening.

Perhaps stumpwm should Depend on lisp-compiler, a virtual package
Provided by sbcl, cmucl, and clisp.
