[Koha-devel] INSTALL.debian is outdated

A full koha-common RPM, perhaps not. That would need updating each release.
But all the parts (libXXX-perl) that are missing would be good if hosted by 
the community.
Generally the minimum required for a library doesn’t change long term.

Providing just the missing pieces to be hosted by the community would never 
go out of
worth, because if the default repos caught up and/or surpassed, they would 
get used.

I would think that such a task would also have merit.
I suspect that something might be adaptable from ansible script on 
kohadevbox.
