Typically Debian installs libraries that can be used at runtime but not
at build-time and to get build-time support you need to install the
corresponding -dev package. In this case you need to install
libserf-dev.

You can use

  apt-get build-dep subversion

to install all the build dependencies used by Debian's own Subversion
package.
