Please unblock package racket

[ Reason ]

Fixes binary names on armel

[ Impact ]

armel users will have to work around 1105013, e.g. by making symlinks or 
aliases.

[ Tests ]

I installed racket on armel and amd64 and ran some simple programs. On
amd64 I also ran the IDE drracket (written in racket), which is a pretty good 
smoke test.

[ Risks ]

This is a leaf package, and there are probably not many users on armel. The 
main risk is that the one line change somehow screwed things up on non-armel 
architectures. The change is (supposed to be) specific to armel, so that should 
be unlikely.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]

Due to architecture and autobuilder hardware limitations, armel is
currently the only user of the legacy "bc" backend for racket. In a sense this 
is bad, since that backend is less used. In this case it probably works in our 
favour, since the armel build  process is somewhat independent from the other 
architectures.
