Hmmm.  On the one hand, in Debian we try to keep our dependencies only
as tight as they need to be - to support partial upgrades as best we
can, and maintain as much flexibility as we can.

On the other hand, I can't think of any situations either, where
someone would want to upgrade libsvn0 but not the client, or downgrade
the client but not the library.  I expect user interface backward
compatibility in the clients will continue to be excellent, so that
users won't have to fear breaking their scripts that wrap svn, svnlook,
etc.

I think I agree, we should tighten the dependency.  I'll do that for
the next upload.
