I don't want to upload such a big change without Sam's approval. He's
responsible for a couchdb package in Debian.

After R14A was uploaded to unstable couchdb has become broken
(it couldn't start), so I've uploaded a small fix (and merged it to the
trunk). The uploaded package hit testing today, so couchdb is working
again in unstable and testing.

I think that you could prepare 1.0 (with or without split, as you want)
and after Sam's (and later my) review I'll upload it.

I've already merged changes from R14A compatibility branch to the trunk,
but since 1.0 is compatible itself the patch is to be removed. So, prepare
1.0, let Sam review it, then I'll upload it to the unstable.
