Actually, it ships it directly in the source code, which is why I didn't
notice the new dependency. Here's a pull request to fix that:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2241

LevelDB is, I believe, this package in Debian:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/leveldb.html

About that: for the record (as you may already noticed) our [Debian]
leveldb is incomplete and doesn't ship "memenv" component required by
Bitcoin.

I filed #701075 to address the issue. I was able to build Bitcoin-0.8.0
with patched leveldb from "experimental" and it passed all post-build
tests for bitcoin-qt and for bitcoind.

Unless upstream will make building with system leveldb easier I will
make "unbundle-leveldb.patch" available as soon as leveldb maintainer
respond to proposed update.

Best wishes,
