Alright, so, to clarify, I diffed the listing of files provided by the
unstable version (installed on "server1") versus the backports.org version
(installed on server2). Here's the result of my quick comparison:

root@server1:~/# apt-show-versions | grep -e 'svn\|subversion'
    libapache2-svn/unstable upgradeable from 1.2.3a-1 to 1.2.3dfsg1-3
    libsvn-mirror-perl/stable uptodate 0.61-1
    python2.3-subversion/unstable upgradeable from 1.2.3a-1 to 1.2.3dfsg1-3
    libsvn-simple-perl/stable uptodate 0.27-1
    libsvn-core-perl/stable uptodate 1.1.4-2
    subversion-tools/unstable upgradeable from 1.2.3a-1 to 1.2.3dfsg1-3
    subversion/unstable upgradeable from 1.2.3a-1 to 1.2.3dfsg1-3
    libsvn0/unstable upgradeable from 1.2.3a-1 to 1.2.3dfsg1-3


root@server2:~/# apt-show-versions | grep -e 'svn\|subversion'
    libapache2-svn/sarge-backports uptodate 1.2.3dfsg1-2bpo1
    python2.3-subversion/sarge-backports uptodate 1.2.3dfsg1-2bpo1
    libsvn-core-perl/stable uptodate 1.1.4-2
    subversion-tools/sarge-backports uptodate 1.2.3dfsg1-2bpo1
    subversion/sarge-backports uptodate 1.2.3dfsg1-2bpo1
    libsvn0/sarge-backports uptodate 1.2.3dfsg1-2bpo1

When I said it should be an easy fix, to clarify, the pkg just needs to be
compiled with the right flags to ./configure, i.e. --with-perl
--with-python, or something like that. I can't imagine why this would be
difficult to accomplish. I'd do it myself if I was set up for generating
.debs and submitting them to backports.org.
