I prefer not having to repeat stuff, and being able to do stuff like this is one of the big advantages of scheme.

But to see whether it actually helps a lot, it would be necessary to know how many packages will be available in multiple versions (so the package name and the variable have to differ).

Best wishes,
Arne
