Ah, I didn't know it was a utility.

If it doesn't generate a module that other packages use, then it's OK
to give it a suffix other than pm, e.g. svn-bisect-perl.

You could also have it use Provides: svn-bisect, in case other
packages down the road might need to Depend on it without caring about
the Perl version.  As long as the Provides: is used responsibly, e.g.
not having a real "svn-bisect" package, too, this should be easier
than having a list like: svn-bisect-perl588 | svn=bisect-perl5100
