Thanks for this, I was trying to do this myself but stumbled over some issues. With your packages I was able to create packages for Ubuntu precise at a so called PPA at https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/subversion-1.8, for serf I used a different way of packaging, not sure where I got that one from. For the Subversion package I only did minor changes compared to your version mostly because apache-packaging is a bit different in Precise.
Unfortunately I cannot help much with the Debian packaging as I am not a Debian maintainer... FYI, locally also some tests were failing, but on the automated build machine for the PPA, the packages built just fine with all tests passing, not sure where the difference is here, but this was the same with 1.7.x versions of Subversion as well.
