Right. So, we'd have to wait for mit-scheme to be uploaded, but it
probably makes sense to wait until the next business or school day anyway,
at which point mit-scheme will hopefully be ready.
The other option would be to declare debathena-thirdparty only useful on
i386 machines, but so far I don't think we have a good reason to do that.
Anyway, other than waiting for mit-scheme, are we ready to make
debathena-cluster depend on debathena-thirdparty?
