My, that does seem obscure. At a guess, it's 1.0.8 + some code
from later. Further guess: there was concern that 1.1, since it has
big changes, might have some brokenness.

A sort of related thread is at
http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=dev&by=thread&from=234097

Actually, grabbing the diff file from qa.debian, the changelog says
+subversion (1.0.8-1) unstable; urgency=high
+
+ * New upstream release.
+ * CAN-2004-0749: mod_authz_svn fails to protect metadata
+ * Minor build system changes so we can easily support subversion 1.1.x.

That's from http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.0.8-1.diff.gz

I don't know why that merited the name complication.
