The Scheme community is too fragmented for a meta meta-module system to work. Racket and Chicken both have decent module repositories, at least. (Probably some others do, too.)
No meaningful experience with Clojure, but it probably inherits some library culture from running on the JVM as well.
Clojure sure does. Look at something like maven. It has lots of features but alot of people don't like it. All we needed in Clojure were some people to creat good abstraction over maven and boom! we have a great package system.
If you want to live on something like the JVM you have to use all its powers to the max because if you don't its weaknesses will be bigger then the its benefits you get.
clojure has leiningen and clojars.org which are awesome
