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.)
