Would it work to adjust MongoDB's packaging such that there are, say,
mongodb-server and mongodb-server-core binary packages, the latter of
which only installs the server binaries, and the former which does the
stuff that people usually grumble about, like allocating gobs of /var
and starting the daemon?
