Randall,
You could consider stealing some of my scripting around pbuilder in
order to build packages for squeeze, lucid, maverick, natty and
oneiric for both 32-bit and 64-bit servers in one go. It's also quite
possible to write a much better script. :)

Thanks. I've actually got sbuild with LVM snapshots set up. So I
should be able to create a chroot snapshot for older distributions.

Very nice, just wanted to install on a new server but I see you don't
support the latest LTS. Are you planning to build packages for 10.04?
I think it'd be nice to support the latest LTS always. It doesn't look
too hard. I'll see what I can do once I get more feedback that this
package isn't terrible.
Great!
Please, if anyone gets a chance to test the install let me know.
I'll be happy to give it a full test in 10.04.

I've uploaded a version of CouchDB 1.1.1 to my personal package archive
[1].
I would appreciate for anyone to take some time to test this.
I plan to provide the same for 1.2 and other future releases.
Relax. Using it is as simple as:
$ apt add-repository ppa:randall-leeds/couchdb
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install couchdb
I've combined previous packaging efforts from Debian and Ubuntu and
attempted to bring them into harmony[2] on my GitHub account using
git-dpm[3]. I would like to facilitate sharing packaging and keeping
CouchDB up to date on these and other .deb distributions and would
appreciate feedback from the downstream packagers on whether or not
I'm doing it right.
Differences inherited from Debian:
- Permissions on installed files are slightly more strict, being
entirely unreadable outside the couchdb user/group.
Differences inherited from Ubuntu:
- couchdb and couchdb-bin are split packages. The former is
architecture neutral.

* It is my full intention to faithfully produce a packaging of
original release tarballs. The paranoid may check that the original
source matches that of the official release. No changes outside
packaging will ever be included in this archive and I will only ever
upload packages for released versions of CouchDB. In short, help me
make sure this is a great way to keep an up-to-date CouchDB.
