Mongo packaging

Hello

I noticed that currently the version of Mongo required sits as a
compiled binary in a public location downloaded over http.

I consider it unacceptable to download binaries over an insecure
connection (I am certainly not using it on my machines) so I've packaged
up a working version with SSL enabled and put it in a PPA.

See https://launchpad.net/~julian-edwards/+archive/mongodb

Can I suggest that you copy this to the juju PPA and make it a
dependency.  If you want, it's trivial to stop it running as a service
by doing this:
echo ENABLE_MONGODB=no | sudo tee -a /etc/default/mongodb

J.
