OK, let's use /usr/lib/plt then.

OK, what about the following split then:
plt (containing just mzscheme)
plt-drscheme (containing drscheme)
plt-devel (containing libs and headers)
From description, i suspect mred binary should safely be included in 
plt-drscheme package (unless you prefer plf-mred AND plf-drscheme). But i 
don't know if i could also split some collects subdirs into those packages, 
not can i see if teachpacks are only related to drscheme or are also needed 
for mzscheme.

Thanks, i'll use that.
