I think that your argument has merit, but if we want Koha to work
out-of-the-box, we do need to provide a default requirement, which is going to
be starman for the time being.

Maybe we could put it as "recommends" in the cpanfile, and then keep "starman"
in debian/control for koha-common and koha-full... and allow people to install
whatever PSGI/Mojolicious server they want for koha-core...


It seems that "C4/Installer/PerlModules.pm" and "debian/list-deps" won't
process "recommends", so that could work...

Perhaps something to discuss further..
