I think that Norbert already implemented "if context scheme, no warning".

The modules are mirrored on CTAN, but Karl sent me a list of questions
(I expected that). The "problem" is that TL assumes that package names
should be the same as folders where these packages reside.

In the specific case of t-letter, that means renaming
tex/context/third/letter to tex/context/third/context-letter, else
name clash with LaTeX package letter would occur ... But some better
solution needs to be found.
