[racket-dev] single-instantiation trick: kludgy workaround for planet packages?

A couple of weeks ago, you showed me the trick that rackunit uses to allow single-instantiation of a modules.  I'm now trying to do this
for a planet package, and it looks like I have to change the required module from being a relative to being an absolute path.  That is:

(require (prefix-in drlink: private/drracket-link))

must become

(require (prefix-in drlink: (planet "drracket-link.rkt" ("clements" "rsound.plt") "private")))

This works, but seems extremely fragile.  Does it make sense to you that this would be required?  Without it, I get the error below:


namespace-attach-module: unknown module (in the source namespace): #<resolved-module-path:"/Users/clements/clements/planet-collects/rsound/private/drracket-link.rkt">

semi-happy,

John
