[Koha-devel] Plack only

+1 Julian

I've been avoiding Plack because we don't use Debian, but at some point I'll have to use it, and it would be great if it was community supported beyond just Debian. I'm happy to help test things, so long as I can have some guidance on what to do. 

(I'd love for the multi-tenant management tools to be de-debianized as well, but totally recognize that money/time is an obstacle. It's something I'd like to look at more in the future myself, but occupied with non-Koha projects at the moment...)

Are they really in sync ? They look very different (I cannot use the rest api with misc/plack/koha.psgi for instance).

IMO a good starting point would be to move debian/templates/plack.psgi outside of debian/ and make it the .psgi reference file for all types of install (and remove misc/plack in the process).
Any thoughts ?
