Take a look at the end of this page: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu
The relevant section is : Note on installing on Ubuntu Desktop flavors. I think you should probably take it more as a guideline than as instructions :) In my case, instead of the link, I ended up just copying the .../init.d/couchdb file over. It still didnt work for me after following these instructions because of permissions issues on the stderr and stdout log files. (But to be sure, I installed from CouchOne and not from source, so maybe you wont see this).
