Since this has gone over a week with no maintainer reply and is a release
critical bug, I'm going to go ahead and upload an NMU shortly. NMU diff

+Description: Disable pyexec in util3.py to avoid pycompile issue
+ couchdb/util3.py is not used with python (only python3, which is not
+ currently supported by the package), but is still executed by pycompile.
+ Pycompile will attempt to compile all files in the directory on install and
+ the python3 only syntax used in util3.py causes it to fail. Commenting out
+ the pyexec works around the issue and has no effect since python3 isn't
+ supported.
+ In the long run, this should be fixed properly, but this is a reasonable
