Greetings, and thanks so much for your feedback!  I think the sentence
is intelligible, but could be reworded to increase clarity.  The meaning
is that the user can override the default selection of lisp image in
debconf using the GCL_ANSI environment variable at runtime.  Setting to
"no" will select the CLtL1 image regardless of debconf setting, and
setting it to any other string will select the ANSI image regardless of
debconf setting.

gcl27 (and dependency axiom) will migrate right before the hard freeze
on 5/15.  Most likely this will have to wait until after the freeze, but
if you can convince the release managers to accept another upload
containing a rewording before then with no migration timetable penalty,
I can certainly help out.

Take care,
