Nouveau trial run observations

[janl]

Heya, I have the nouveau branch on couchdb-pkg a trial run and noticed the following things:

• when installing into a system that has not had any CouchDB on it before, apt install fails with “/etc/couchdb/default does not exist” — it looks like this line never worked as intended on completely new systems: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-pkg/blob/nouveau/debian/couchdb.postinst#L191 — this is not Nouveau related.
• Nouveau exposes the endpoint /analyze which is available through CouchDB at /_nouveau_analyze — CouchDB tends to default to British English. Should this be analyse?
• when apt installing couchdb-nouveau, this prompt is shown:
  
  • it states “if true, …” but the options are <Yes> and <No>. Any prompt text should match the UI labels.
  • it also states that if <Yes> is chosen, CouchDB will have to be restarted or a config reload issued. However, when the process completes after choosing <Yes>, CouchDB already responds to Nouveau requests. So either the reload or restart is already happening, or main CouchDB has Nouveau enabled by default. The output of apt install couchdb-nouveau does not suggest it does the restart or config reload.
• slight preference for using a JSON config over YAML.
