The username is the username of the producer of the package on PLaneT.
On PLaneT, each package author has an account that their packages are
associated with. In this case, the PLaneT account is "plai", so that's
what you use. In contrast, if you were to install one of my personal
packages, the username would be "jaymccarthy". If you got an untyped
package, it would "untyped". The username provides a way of allowing
different parties to have packages with the "same" name, ie.
untyped/scheme and cce/scheme.
