Sounds like Jerzy has figured this out, but for others who are
interested: Debian/testing has DrScheme 203; Debian/unstable has
DrScheme 204.  It's not in stable as yet; we'll have to wait for the
next release for that.

Building it from source is not at all difficult, though; just make sure
you have the necessary packages installed.  You'll need libxaw7-dev,
libreadline4, libreadline4-dev, and the openSSL libraries and
headers---I don't remember exactly which packages those are in, and I'm
not at my Debian box right now, so I can't check.

Strictly speaking, readline and openSSL are necessary only for a couple
of extensions.  If you don't have them installed, you will get some
errors when you build DrScheme, but it will build, and everything but
those two features should work.
