 This package includes the Subversion client (svn), tools for creating
 a Subversion repository and tools to make a repository available
 over the network using a program like ssh.

Subversion is a set of libraries. It comes with a command-line client that
uses them. There are two different Subversion server processes: either
svnserve, which is small standalone program similar to cvs pserver, or Apache
httpd-2.0 using a special mod_dav_svn module. svnserve speaks a custom
protocol, while mod_dav_svn uses WebDAV as its network protocol.

svnserve is in the package "subversion" and mod_dav_svn seems to be in the
package "libapache2-svn"
