Automatic debarment happens only through overdue triggers. Fines may block
certain actions, but those checks are made based on the fine amount and
fine-related system preferences ( OPACFineNoRenewals, maxoutstanding, 
noissuescharge). Unless I'm missing something?

Will this affect the suspension in days feature? Will the debarred column in
the borrowers table stop being used, and all checks for patron debarment be
referred to this new table? Is this going to significantly affect performance?

If we keep borrowers.debarred, I suppose checkout performance doesn't have to
be affected. I am concerned that this is going to slow down check-in. Upon each
check-in Koha will have to query the borrower_debarment table to see if the
patron should have the restriction removed?
