** Description changed:

  I'd like to see CouchDB 1.2.0 synced from Debian, but adding in a
  couchdb/couchdb-bin split similar to what was done by the desktopcouch
  folks for the current Ubuntu 1.0.1 package.
  
  This split is critical for Novacut and Dmedia because otherwise our user
  have an unused system-wide CouchDB running for no reason. We've been
  maintaining our own newer CouchDB packages in our PPA, and I'd love to
  stop doing that.
  
  For more background, I tried to do something similar for CouchDB 1.1.1
  in Precise, but didn't make it in time:
  
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/couchdb/+bug/903098
  
  **Current Status**
  
  I have a debdiff attached, ready for review, and I have test packages for 
Precise and Quantal in ppa:novacut/daily:
  https://launchpad.net/~novacut/+archive/daily
  
  I've found no regressions from the 1.0.1 Ubuntu package. There's still
  one nasty issue (also present in 1.0.1) that I hope to resolve, but
  haven't yet. The issues is you can't stop the daemon immediately after
  installation.  For example, this doesn't work:
  
  sudo apt-get install couchdb
  sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb stop
  
  But this does work:
  
  sudo apt-get install couchdb
  <reboot>
  sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb stop
  
  **What needs further testing**
  
  I don't use system-wide CouchDB on a regular basis, so I need help
  testing the `couchdb` side of the split. In particular, if there is
  anyone running the 1.0.1 package in a production setting, I need
  feedback on whether the permission and ownership changes I made in /etc
- cause any issues for you during an upgrade.
+ cause any issues for you during/after an upgrade to my 1.2.0 package.
