since the bug report, i talked with peter and thiago (upstream) about the 
issue. kdesdk scripts are renamed in debian package. See :
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kde/trunk/packages/kdesdk/debian/changelog?rev=0&sc=1

> Rename svn-clean and svnversions to svn-clean-kde and svnversion-kde to
> avoid conflicts and mistakes with subversion scripts (Closes: #397874)

cheers,
