We have an application that is packaged as a debian (.deb) package.
The application is deployed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
We are looking to provide the application on 16.04 when it is released. However, one of the applications's dependencies -- couchdb -- is available as a snap package and not as a debian package.
Is there a way to tell the debian package that it requires a particular snap to be installed?

Hmmm. Ubuntu 16.04 was released --on time-- two years ago. And thecouchdbdeb package is indeed in both 14.04 and 16.04 (and every release since). Ubuntu 18.04 will be released later this month...and also has acouchdbdeb.

No, these are independent packaging systems. You can use debian/control to specify another debian package using the Depends: xxx syntax but not a snap. This is the whole point about snaps: they bundle their own dependencies to prevent things like distro version mismatches, etc.
Maybe you want to consider packaging your application as a snap?
