As a distributor, the most important deficiency in today's release tarballs is the fact that pretty much all the dependencies are bundled, with no convenient way to use system copies. IMO this should be done especially for C libraries like snappy and spidermonkey, but preferably also for the Erlang parts with an alive upstream. I haven't tracked it to closely, but I always get the impression that CouchDB just vendors upstream and isn't that good about making sure patches end up upstream as well (and tracking what versions correspond to the dependencies shipped with a given CouchDB tarball).
