Bug Description

The file: /usr/share/doc/cl-asdf/README.Debian gives load instructions which fail because the pathnames given are incorrect. The following shows my corrections (which work).

To load ASDF into your Lisp system, you can give the command
 (load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/asdf/asdf.lisp")
 **** 2017-07-29 <superbiskit> **** That doesn't work, use:
 (load #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-asdf/asdf.lisp")
although in many implementations, you can just use
 (require :asdf)

Additionally, there is an optional module that you can load
with the command
 (load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/asdf/wild-modules.lisp")
 **** 2017-07-29 <superbiskit> **** That doesn't work, use:
 (load #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-asdf/contrib/wild-modules.lisp")

I'm probably just wasting the typing, but I WANT TO HELP! I think I would be most useful working on user-level documentation.
