If your /etc/apt/sources.list does not refer to 'stable' then the
method I posted may not work.

Check that your svn binary is actually using the library installed
by that package:

$ ldd /usr/bin/svn | grep libneon
        libneon-gnutls.so.27 => /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2009-06-02 10:29 /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27 -> libneon-gnutls.so.27.1.2

$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27.1.2
libneon27-gnutls: /usr/lib/libneon-gnutls.so.27.1.2
