No. Here is the complete src_install:

src_install() {
         insinto /usr/share/common-lisp/source/${PN}
         doins -r contrib *.lisp version.lisp-expr uiop.asd asdf-driver.asd
         dodir /usr/share/common-lisp/systems
         dosym /usr/share/common-lisp/source/${PN}/uiop.asd /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/uiop.asd
         dosym /usr/share/common-lisp/source/${PN}/asdf-driver.asd /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/asdf-driver.asd
}

*.lisp, uiop.asd, asdf-driver.asd are installed normally, but not 
version.lisp-expr. Out of frustration, I've tried

src_install() {
         insinto /usr/share/common-lisp/source/${PN}
         doins -r contrib *.lisp uiop.asd asdf-driver.asd
         doins version.lisp-expr
         dodir /usr/share/common-lisp/systems
         dosym /usr/share/common-lisp/source/${PN}/uiop.asd /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/uiop.asd
         dosym /usr/share/common-lisp/source/${PN}/asdf-driver.asd /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/asdf-driver.asd
}

But even in this case the broken symlink is installed instead of 
version.lisp-expr.
