Thanks for the pointer, it has been very useful.

I got rid of the hook and now I'm creating all the required files/links
at build time in 'etc/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d/' and in
'etc/common-lisp/asdf-output-translations.conf.d/'.
It seems to work well with packages having simple definitions. Now
I have to check and adapt the more complex ones.
