I'm confident that most Debian users are comfortable installing
something from source, but they'd rather have something that's clean
and easily integrates into their system. And you're right, it would be
easier to just create one plt-scheme package and ignore the people who
don't want to install a bunch of X libraries on a server.

No, that was based on 4.0.1:
