[racket] Should `raco pkg update <x>` presume --update-deps?

The original problem looks like an error where '(markdown 0.5) wasn't
stripped down to 'markdown.

As for the prompting issue, I think that just means the 'rwind'
package is bad in that it doesn't check for the presence of the files
before prompting.
