What needs to be done:
Create a launcher script that calls squeak and tells it to load the appropriate .image file from wherever we store it
Create a .desktop file to call above launcher script
Compile two binary plugins for Squeak needed my Scratch and package them (possibly in a separate package)

The actual source code is non -free and under a non commercial license.

Someone has said it used to be under a BSD license. We could package that version but not this.
