While I agree that the 001 should be populated with a unique bibliographic control number, it's not the way that Koha is typically set up.
Yet for example on Koha demo of Catalyst IT Ltd. (New Zealand) we can find this record <http://demo-intra.mykoha.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/MARCdetail.pl?biblionumber=20895> with biblionumber=999$c=999$d==20895 but control number 001==30908. Maybe they take 30908 from OCLC, but that is not what we are looking for, we want just an incremental system generated number like barcode.pl plugin builder does for items, but for biblios, with no relation with Koha biblionumber. In theory, it's configurable, but there are parts of Koha that expect the
biblionumber to be in the 999$c field (e.g. MARC21slim2OPACResult.xsl).
I know 999 is used internally by Koha, so I don't wish to touch nothing about biblionumber/999$c/999$d. Cheers, Pablo
