I prefer not having to repeat stuff, and being able to do stuff like this is one of the big advantages of scheme.

But to see whether it actually helps a lot, it would be necessary to know how many packages will be available in multiple versions (so the package name and the variable have to differ).

Best wishes,
Arne

Der Mann wird ausgeraubt, erstochen und verblutet, 
denn die Polizisten haben beide Hände voll zu tun.
