I'm currently testing a clean install at a client site.
The thorny problems are the ones where the koha installation usually
"interferes" with mysqld and wider system settings.

Yes, I'd agree with that split as a minimum. I'm open to suggestions
about whether we want libkoha-perl and koha packages split or not.
Hope that explains,
