------------------
Database at different location from upstream
To be consistent with the Debian Policy, the mongodb-server package puts
the databases under the /var/lib/mongodb directory instead of what
upstream uses in its documentation (namely, /data/db).
You can change this on your installation by editing the configuration file
/etc/mongodb.conf in the dbpath directive.
Binds only to localhost
As mongo needs some tuning to become secure, it binds to localhost by
default. You can change this behavior in /etc/mongodb.conf by
editing/removing/commenting out bind_ip line.
Why only for x86 and amd64?
The mongodb server depends on both little-endianness and unaligned memory
access, which I believe means it can only work on i386 and amd64. We believe
that the mongodb will be useful even it is not available for all Debian
supported platforms.
