--- Comment #4 from Mathieu Saby <[email protected]> ---
hell of a headache,  isn't it ?

But I am not sure it is the same scope as the current bz : we could already
clean 099$x, 099$s and 099$t, and keep for later the question raised by "942$c 
(Koha item type => biblioitems.itemtype)"

For history record :

Regarding the fact that in UNIMARC biblioitems.itemtype and items.itype are not
always mapped to itemtypes.itemtype, it is certainly a very old move. I was
administrating a Koha 3.x in 2011 (with Biblibre support), and this was already
our configuration. I believe it was a choice made when Koha was introduced in
France in the early 2000s.

So a lot of french libraries with Biblibre support have been using for many
years items.itype to define the type of loan (short / long / no loan...). The
same values could not meaningflully be used at record level, and fill
itemtypes.itemtype with other values (book / dvd / ...)
Changing this behavior would be a huge move backwards for all of us.
