The problem with shipping couchdb 1.0 as a separate binary package (or set thereof), means that it's no longer a simple SRU to 10.04. We would also need to provide an SRU for desktopcouch on 10.04. As well as an SRU for couchdb on 10.10 (which already ships 1.0, and would need to reconcile the split on upgrade), and get the same dependency changes for 10.10 into 11.04. There are also other security fixes included in the set of changes from 0.10 to 1.0, which means anyone actually using 0.10 is probably going to have to update anyway.
