Is there any Debian-specific reason for avoiding PHP and MySQL, such
that "it would help" to avoid them when setting up a Debian web
service?

Note that I'm well aware of arguments against using either of PHP or
MySQL *in general*. I'm wondering why you give this recommendation
that seems to be *specific* to setting up a web service for Debian.
