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?
