Simply changing how debi detects whether svn is being used only covers
part of the svn-bp related code in debi.

We also look for .svn/deb-layout to see if a (I guess) non-standard
layout is being used.  How would that look in a svn 1.7 repo?  I didn't
see anything covering this in the svn-bp documentation, since that seems
to expect it to be in debian/.svn/.
