So unfortunately the upstream 1.6.0 source tarball annoyingly includes a
number of pre-minified JavaScript files for which the actual source
isn't included, discussed at some length here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752420

And which produce "source-is-missing" Lintian errors like this:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7848545/

I will be discussing this with upstream (and also trying to nudge them
away from using so many internally bundled libraries like libsnappy,
etc).

I'm not sure where this leaves the Ubuntu/CouchDB situation for Utopic,
but note that CouchDB 1.5.0 does not work with Erlang 17 (although I
think this could be fixed with a relatively small patch). Also note that
1.5.0 likewise includes pre-minified JavaScript that I just didn't
notice before. So CouchDB 1.6.0 isn't a step backward in this respect,
although obviously this is something that must be addressed long term.
