    Description

      The Linux packages should be split into multiple packages rather than one monolithic package. Other databases in Debian follow this model.

      For example:
      mongodb-server (mongod, mongos, etc.)
      libmongodb (libraries)
      mongodb-dev (headers)
      mongodb-tools (mongo, mongoimport)

      Use case: A site wants to have a fleet of mongo machines without servers installed, only client libraries and tools. Installing the existing package necessitates the server installation and its burdens (mongodb user, storage path, etc.)
