This has been possible for a while by directly using the unit that  
the setup-plt command-line tool eventually calls, but it hasn't had a  
convenient command-line interface.  I just added one in SVN, so as of  
now

$ setup-plt -P divascheme divascheme.plt 1 0

will do what you want.

Note that setup-plt -P only sets up already-installed PLaneT  
packages, it doesn't install them; the planet command-line tool is  
still what you use to download and install packages the first time.
