Ubuntu usually pulls from Debian, and I'm not sure about how active the CouchDB package maintainers are. You should feel free to email them, grabbing the contact details from the Debian homepage for the package. In this case, Ubuntu might beat Debian to it, because CouchDB is quite important to them. I'm sure it won't be long, either way - before you see the 1.0 release done.
