Binary package hint: desktopcouch

I'm running Kubuntu and wanted to play around with my DesktopCouch. Unfortunately does the port getter already fail with an unhelpful error:

$ dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.desktopcouch.CouchDB / org.desktopcouch.CouchDB.getPort
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

I executed the script manually and got the following:

$ /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-get-port
** Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
Traceback (most recent call last):

gnomekeyring.IOError

Unfortunately KWallet in KDE 4.4 doesn't support the secret-storage-spec yet. And gnome-keyring isn't started when you login to a KDE session.

Is there any reason desktopcouch has to depend on a secret storage daemon, even when used only locally?
