Despite not being an official package, chicken (a scheme compiler and interpreter) has compiled OTOB on cygwin for several years now. I think it would make a good addition to the distro.
Version 2.3 is currently in Debian stable [1]. Version 3.2 is in testing [2]. Version 3.4.0 is 2 incremental upgrades beyond what is in lenny, but there have been no significant changes in functionality or architecture. Also, the Debian packages are needlessly divided into bin/dev/lib packages. Chicken is small and is intended for development. It is best kept as a single package.
