I'll defer to your judgement regarding what the average Debian-savvy new svn-server-admin would expect. Personally, I'd certainly expect a libapache2-mod-* package would be needed, but I might expect it would be pulled in as a dependency of the "application" package I need to install to get "http:// svn server" functionality. I'd assume the libapache2-mod-* namespace is for libraries, like libacme-foo-perl. (Which it is, from httpd's perspective.) Another consideration is to have a pointer for mod_dav_svn for analogy with the existing pointer to svnserve. Upstream considers both of them core features on equal footing, so it'd make sense for the primary package to point to both of them. Cheers, Daniel
