As far as I understand, Fil-C changes the ABI of the system, therefore it requires a new architecture in Debian terminology, e.g. amd64fil. And then you'd need to use multi-arch to pull in amd64fil binaries where that works.

We'll have to see how this plays out but it's not super plug and play.

Exactly something like that, yeah.
