Bug Description
Test case:
Install deja-dup
Select Ubuntu One as the backup destination
Start a backup
=> crashes looking for couch.auth
Work around:
sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-couch
Ubuntu One is provided as a possible (not default) backup destination but the backup crashes looking for couch.auth which is provided by ubuntuone-couch.
The crash is a bug, but just adding the dependency is only my opinion. One might:
1) make deja-dep depend on ubuntuone-couch (easy, but not strictly necessary since U1 isn't the default)
2) prompt the user to install ubuntuone-couch when selecting U1 as destination (more complex)
3) make a dummy package deja-dup-ubuntuone that depends on ubuntuone-couch (requires the user to know what to install)

I don't think a hard dependency is the right thing to do. deja-dup
should handle a missing couch.auth by displaying a error message and
maybe, like you suggest, prompt to install ubuntuone-couch.
deja-dup already Recommends ubuntone-couch (>= 0.2.0-0ubuntu2) which is
enough in my opinion.
