Why not, instead of "base" and "full", doing this:

    subversion-1.4.0.tar.gz - Just Subversion
    subversion-1.4.0-deps.tar.gz - Subversion dependencies.

The second package wouldn't have subversion itself. It would have all
the dependencies in the expected subdirectories so that by doing:

tar xvzf subversion-1.4.0.tar.gz ; tar xvzf subversion-1.4.0-deps.tar.gz

..you get whay we have today.
