How may people used APR 1.0+ before Apache 2.2? Debian packages a lot
of software and APR 1.0+ only became an issue when Apache 2.2 was
released.

Really? I know there is a problem if the application explicitly links
to the other libraries, but if it avoids that and links just to libsvn
then I thought the other libraries were not part of the ABI. APR is
different because it's types appear explicitly in the Subversion API.
