libapache2-svn is already a *-server package split out from subversion.
It isn't named *-server but it is server code. Other than that, a
split makes little sense:
(a) Subversion is mostly library code;
(b) Very little of the 3.9 MB 'subversion' package is either client- or
server-specific;
(c) We don't ship an init script or an inetd.conf line or anything, so
the principle of "don't install servers you do not wish to run"
does not apply;
(d) The client libraries link to the server libraries, because a client
is also "the server" in the case of a file:/// repository. Thus,
splitting libsvn1 into client and server packages would be largely
pointless.
What would make more sense would be to move
/usr/share/local/*/LC_MESSAGES/subversion.mo into the libsvn1 package.
(I haven't checked if that's multi-arch-safe these days.)
