  The package system has a notion of auto packages, which are

 Note that this is also how the deb package manager (on
 Debian/Ubuntu/etc) works, so we have good precedent here.

 I think that all distros do that for a number of years now.

 So, I think option 2 is right for now, and we should eventually spend
 cycles on really getting `mzscheme' out of the core.

 Ok, I'll focus on that.

I'm mostly done with this now.  Progress in this pull request:
https://github.com/plt/racket/pull/377

The most important commit is the one entitled Remove most uses of
`mzscheme` in the core (I'm changing the sha1 on rebases).

(Sidenote: it would be nice if `--fix-pkg-deps' or something similar
could also report redundant dependencies.)
