When reinstalling svn-1.1.4, I noticed, that all svn related packages,
libneon, libsvn0, subversion were installed as *_i386.deb.
Interestingly:

$> apt-cache policy subversion
COMPAT_ARCHS: i686 i586 i486 i386 all
subversion:
 Installed: 1.1.4-2 [i386]
 Candidate: 1.1.4-2 [i386]
 Version Table:
    1.3.2-5~bpo1 0 [amd64]
         1 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages
*** 1.1.4-2 0 [i386]

Nothing is fetched. I am at kind of a loss here. Probably, I will wait
for Norbert's update ;)

Thanks for your input.
