I don't understand this direction.  Why have chez-scheme inherit from
chez-scheme-for-racket?  Even if Racket itself pins a particular
version instead of an upstream release (which, let's face it, would be
the wiser option here), or requires a special build (again, why?) I
think keeping the inheritance in the other direction makes ontological
sense moreso than whatever we're starting here.

Cheers
