Okay, after fixing a packaging foobar I made that broke the build on amd64, I now have packages available for testing in the Novacut Daily Builds PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~novacut/+archive/daily?field.series_filter=precise

It's currently building for Oneiric also, to help get wider testing.

I'll continue to advocate for this split in Debian, but considering that Debian #573061 was filed over a year and a half ago, I'm not very confident this can happen in time to be synced from Debian into Precise.

The situation with CouchDB in Ubuntu as it stands makes me very nervous... a huge delta between both Debian and upstream, a complicated set of cherry-picked patches totalling over 20k lines... and probably no Ubuntu core devs able to maintain this delta as, understandably, the business case just isn't there any more.

I'd feel much better if we could get my proposed low-delta 1.1.1 package into Precise ASAP, and then should the split happen in Debian in time, sync from Debian, replacing my proposed package.

Thoughts?
