stephen if right here. Except you must also dump marc_tag_structure.
Those 2 tables entirely define the MARC management in Koha.<br>

I'm not sure to understand this question. The default MARC21 is complete from a MARC21 point of view isn't it (even if I agree it mappings can be highly improved)

That is correct if I understand here what you mean.
During the install, you have to choose between "MARC21-english" and "UNIMARC-french" MARC flavour.
If you send me working dumps of the 2 marc_*_structure, it's EASY to add new possibilities during installer.
Something like "UNIMARC-french for public library", "UNIMARC-french with SuDoc support", "UNIMARC-french with 995 support"...
