The LICENSE file is probably installed by the upstream installation rules, but 
the DEB_DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE variable only affects debhelper.  I suggest you 
remove the LICENSE file yourself, like this:

binary-post-install/php-versioncontrol-svn::
	rm -f debian/$(cdbs_curpkg)/usr/share/doc/php-versioncontrol-svn/docs/LICENSE
