No, it's not needed.  The best way of requiring quack after geiser would
be something like:

   (eval-after-load "geiser" '(require quack))

although if you use quack from elpa too, the loading order is going to
be whatever elpa uses (i'd have to check what that order is; with any
luck it'll be alphabetical and then we're done.)

I think geiser is stable enough to be followed via elpa: i take care of
releasing to marmalade every new release, and to release whenever
there'is anything new interesting enough or a critical fix.

If you want to follow the latest minute changes, having a local clone of
the git repo and loading geiser directly from there should work too (but
then i'd just remove the elpa package, to avoid conflicts).

HTH,
