libsvn_ra_serf/util.c: undefined reference to serf_bucket_request_set_CL [1.8.1][1.8.3][WORKAROUND]

I am mailing this just to make the workaround known to other users.

When compiling subversion 1.8.1 or 1.8.3 from apache's source package,
"configure --with-serf=/usr/local/serf" is not enough to use a specific serf version.
Not if another version was installed as debian packages.

Workaround:
Uninstall the debian packages, then do "make install" again.

Symptom:
"make install" fails with:
 
cd subversion/libsvn_ra_serf ;
[...] libtool: install: warning: relinking `libsvn_ra_serf-1.la'
[...] .libs/util.o: In function `setup_serf_req':
[...]/subversion-1.8.3/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:760: undefined reference to `serf_bucket_request_set_CL'
[...]/subversion-1.8.3/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:758: undefined reference to `serf_bucket_request_set_CL'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
libtool: install: error: relink `libsvn_ra_serf-1.la' with the above command before installing it
make: *** [install-serf-lib] Fehler 1

("Fehler" is German for "Error")

Tested with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and the distribution's standart libserf1 and libserf-dev packages.
