Hi all. I'm sorry to have been unresponsive to this bug. I agree it is a problem, and I'd like to help fix it.
I propose unifying the desktopcouch, python-desktopcouch, and
python-desktopcouch-records packages, into one desktopcouch package and
two empty transitional* packages. There's too much interdependency for
them to be separate, so discrete packages doesn't make much sense.
So, the present
desktopcouch-tools
desktopcouch
python-desktopcouch
python-desktopcouch-records
will become
desktopcouch-tools
(no change)
desktopcouch
(+ contains all library files also)
(- Depends on python-desktopcouch, python-desktopcouch-records)
(+ Provides python-desktopcouch, python-desktopcouch-records)
python-desktopcouch
(- all files)
(+ Depends on desktopcouch)
python-desktopcouch-records (+depends on desktopcouch
(- all files)
(+ Depends on desktopcouch)
Does this sound acceptable?
Speaking as Upstream, I will have these code dependencies severed before
long. I wasn't thinking as a packager when I approved or wrote the
current code.

* Empty packages with new Depends? I know of "Provides" in Policy, but
I don't know enough about its sufficiency for real, non-"Virtual" packages.
