True. But Jessie is luckily stable these days and is good to have to
test these things.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out.

This is a very good idea. It will provide full flexibility. All the
reusable things should be in a separate package called
openstreetmap-carto-common or something similar (or perhaps
openstreetmap-carto vs openstreetmap-carto-config). Then users who
just want an OSM tile server up running can just install
osm-tile-server which pulls in -common, while the more advanced user
can install openstreetmap-carto and configure every detail
individually.
