[racket] Debug button unavailable when is should not be

The second approach only controls what happens for programs that run
in DrRacket. So I think that if you set the collection path and then
started up a DrRacket inside that DrRacket, you'd see the buttons as
you expect.

But in any case, I think raco link is probably the best approach.
