Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: slime

When APT installs SLIME, it pulls in SBCL as the default Lisp
implementation. However, when invoked in Emacs, SLIME gives the
minibuffer error:

"Searching for program: no such file or directory, lisp"

Evidently, SLIME is using the name "lisp" to invoke Lisp, when it should
be using "sbcl". Including the following line in my .emacs file solves
the problem:

(setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl")

Presumably the default behaviour should be to look for the Lisp
implementation that was just installed. This bug occurs both on Hardy
i386 and Gutsy ppc.
