If you use "installation" scope instead of "user" scope for the package, then launchers via `racket-launcher-names` will be in the same directory as other main-installation executables, such as `raco`. To do that, specify `-i` with `raco pkg install` or select "Specific Racket Installation" for the "Scope" choice in DrRacket's package-installation dialog.
Note that if you want other users to be able to run a launcher, then they'll need access to the modules that are referenced by the executable (as well as the executable itself), so those probably need to be installation-wide instead of user-specific. But if you want the launchers some place other than the user-specific place or the installation-wide place, then `racket-launcher-names` won't help. You'd have to fall back to `post-install-collection` to call a more general launcher-creation function. (I's possible to configure more layers than just "user" and "installation" via "config.rktd", but that's almost certainly too much trouble.)
