There should be one comig to sid at your mirror soon. 

Full story is:

When RC bug exists long time on a pacakage, package is removed from
testing and unstable.

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=svk&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

It is just uploaded to unstable. Try again! 

Your problem of not installing stable version is unknown to me.  Do you
have apt-line for stable in /etc/apt/sources.list?
