I agree, packaging these for Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. would be great.
One challenge is licensing. Scratch is OSS, but it's written in Squeak.
Squeak was originally not released under OSS; the original code
has since been relicensed, and they've gotten hundreds of relicensing
statements from other co-developers, but not all (it appears): http://www.squeak.org/SqueakLicense/
Which just goes to show that licensing of your program, and
of the systems you depend on, matters.
