I think this is the fix;
```
diff --git a/debian/couchdb.config b/debian/couchdb.config
index df9518c..e21d9e7 100755

+++ b/debian/couchdb.config

db_set couchdb/nodename "${nodename}"
fi
```
What's happening is the couchdb.config forcibly sets couchdb/cookie to the
empty string (because it's now empty in the original vm.args file), so even if
you set it with debconf, it won't help.
My change above guards against setting the debconf variable if there is no
existing value.
