Comment (by nxg):

 For completeness, I should note that this doesn't work if I simply drop
 `hello.so` and `hello.import.scm` into the `main/` directory; so that
 doesn't count as 'deployment' of the library (not entirely surprisingly).

 But you mentioned making this into an extension...

 {{{
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken> cat hello.scm
 (module hello (hello)
   (import scheme)
   (define (hello)
     (display "Hello, world")
     (newline)))
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken> cat hello.meta
 ((author "Me")
  (synopsis "A cool hello-world library")
  (license "BSD")
  (files "hello.scm" "hello.setup"))
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken> cat hello.setup
 (standard-extension "hello")
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken> cat main.scm
 (use hello)
 (hello)
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken> chicken-install -deploy -prefix $PWD/main

 hello.import.scm
   mkdir -p '/tmp/chicken/main'
   chmod a+x '/tmp/chicken/main'
   cp -r 'hello.so' '/tmp/chicken/main/hello.so'
   chmod a+r '/tmp/chicken/main/hello.so'
   cp -r 'hello.import.so' '/tmp/chicken/main/hello.import.so'
   chmod a+r '/tmp/chicken/main/hello.import.so'
   chmod a+r '/tmp/chicken/main/hello.setup-info'
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken> rm hello.import.so
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken> csc -deploy main.scm
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken> main/main
 Hello, world
 quaxo:/tmp/chicken>
 }}}

 I'm slightly surprised that I need to remove `hello.import.so` (`csc
 -deploy main.scm` fails otherwise), but this appears to work.

 Perhaps, therefore, this should be recategorised as a documentation
 bugreport.  At the end of http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Deployment it
 might^W would be useful to note that if one wishes to deploy a program
 which uses modules, then it is necessary to wrap them up as (local)
 extensions, as described in http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/4/Extensions#a
 -simple-library

 Also, if there were a way to detect this situation, and have a less
 panicky error message, that would be most civil.

 Hooray!
