Somebody could set up an external archive (PPA for Ubuntu or
manual archive for Debian) with an older version of Subversion
forward ported to a newer version of Ubuntu. You'd have to explicitly
downgrade to that version of Subversion and pin it.

Alternatively, somebody could update bzr-svn to work with newer
versions of Subversion - that's the right strategy in the long term
but a much larger job.

If you want to keep running bzr-svn you could just install subversion
from an older version of Debian - but double check there are no unfixed
security issues.

There is not much point discussing either option unless somebody
actually has resources though...

Cheers,
