Instead, if you want to get something working for now, I would suggest adding a new package `racket-with-video` that extends the `racket` package in the same way that `racket` extends `racket-minimal`. I'd expect it would go somewhat like this

It’s been a while.  Should one of you add the ‘racket-with-video’
package you proposed?  WDYT?

Thanks,
