That would be redundant, since the plt-scheme tarball includes
mzscheme as well, so it doesn't make much sense to provide another
copy of mzscheme.

As of 371 a lot of them did not with 3m, and I haven't tried them with
372 or 4.0.
Here are the 371 build logs for the Debian architectures that failed:
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=drscheme&ver=1%3A371-1&arch=alpha&stamp=1196186681&file=log
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=drscheme&ver=1%3A371-1&arch=mips&stamp=1196207435&file=log
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=drscheme&ver=1%3A371-1&arch=hppa&stamp=1199132332&file=log

I don't know of anyone using the mzscheme Debian package for a
long-running server. But since mips & mipsel aren't even building CGC
properly anymore, I'm about ready to give up and restrict the
buildable architectures even further to just the ones being tested by
you guys; certainly this should satisfy everyone except some
unfortunate soul who was actually trying to run an mzscheme server on
PA-RISC.
