There is no way to pick one over the other; there isn't a particular
reason to have both version the same directory - that's what bzr-svn is
designed to handle.

Yeah, there aren't any backports for squeeze as far as I know.
Subversion 1.7 has some API changes, and I suspect that breaks
subvertpy/bzr-svn if you use it from backports.
