The rmadison command isn't reliable. For instance:

$ rmadison subversion
subversion | 1.4.2dfsg1-2 |     etch-m68k | source, m68k
subversion | 1.4.2dfsg1-2 |     oldstable | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
subversion | 1.5.1dfsg1-2 |        stable | source, alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
subversion | 1.5.1dfsg1-2 |      unstable | hurd-i386
subversion | 1.5.1dfsg1-4 | proposed-updates | source, alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
subversion | 1.6.3dfsg-1 |       testing | source, alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
subversion | 1.6.3dfsg-1 |      unstable | hppa, powerpc
subversion | 1.6.4dfsg-1 |      unstable | source, alpha, amd64, armel, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, s390, sparc

while both
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=subversion&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all
and http://packages.debian.org/etch/subversion say that the latest
etch version is 1.4.2dfsg1-3 for most architectures (or perhaps it
doesn't take security updates into account for oldstable).
