This isn't new. I have had Clojure installed via the Ubuntu repository for some time now. Maybe since Karmic was released.

Agree - appears to have been around since Jan 2009, but judging from all the problems people seem to be have getting a simple Clojure install up and running, it does not appear to be well known.

the simple clojure install is coordinating JVM 5 or 6(almost always sun, tho link below mentions openJDK), emacs 22 or 23, slime, swank, ELPA, etc.

It was actually in Jaunty first (albeit as a "backport"). http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty-backports/clojure
