Squeak's current license conflicts with Debian, that's why there is no

Not at all, but most teachers indeed are MS users, just like the rest 
of the population. Either this, or they have Macintoshes.

Of course, this is for the regular Squeak distribution, not for the one 
aimed at teachers. Maybe the instructions at Squeakland are too terse?
