;) I read the manpage before replying, it just says:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Source-Version                                                                
                  |
|        The source package version (from the changelog file). This variable is 
now deprecated as |
|        its meaning is different from its function, please use the 
source:Version or binary:Ver- |
|        sion as appropriate.                                                   
                  |

His mail only describes when to use binary:Version and when source:Version but
not why not using Source-Version.
Anyway it seems you are right and svn changelog looks like:

+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| * Source-Version is deprecated, using source:Version now, |
|   thanks Tolimar for the hint.                            |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

So thanks for your help!
Kind regards
Nico
