Dear Maintainer,

The Racket installation that comes with Debian includes xrepl and
expeditor. By default, when Racket starts interactively, xrepl looks for
expeditor and uses that package to provide a nicer interactive
experience including syntax highlighting, tab completion, and history.
If that is not found, it tries to use readline to offer part of that
capability.

However, when running racket from a terminal, I only get the readline
version. Running `raco pkg install expeditor` confirms that expeditor is
installed. Forcing xrepl to use expeditor by running `,input expeditor`
in a prompt results in neither expeditor nor readline being loaded (the
behavior that should happen if expeditor is not installed).
