I think that regardless of the conclusion on whether the splitting is
the right thing it doesn't make sense to split the package in Debian
until no packages take advantage from this splitting.

It is libmozjs2d now and the couchdb package currently in sid doesn't
know about the name change.

Should be fine (otherwise I wouldn't close this bug in the changelog).

All FTBFS (fails to build from the source) bugs are to be closed as
0.10.0 builds fine.

#553742 should be closed too with replacing libreadline5-dev by
libreadline-dev in debian/control (though it should be checked first)

I know nothing about #550782.

Vcs-Svn header in debian/control still points to berlios.de.

Erlang team is currently me. Feel free to join :)
