Was there a resolution to this? Debian recently switch to the 3.0
series of swig by default, which broke the subversion build due to the
requirement of < 3.0 swig.

I can work around this for now by explicitly using the 2.0 series of
swig, but that's being considered for removal from Debian before the
next stable release.
