The erlang version was updated to a version that breaks the version of couchdb being shipped. The newer couchdb depends on a bunch of packages that are not in main, and it's very late in the cycle to face a bunch of MIRs as well as the FFE to get that fixed (as per lp:817656).

@pitti, it's because we care about the packages that we're trying to get the things working again after they've been broken by an update to erlang. While I'm not sure about the viability of couch in the medium to long term because of the apparently insurmountable problems with scaling it both up and down, in the short term it's what we've got.
