I don't decide how Subversion is packaged for Debian.
I only hack psvn.el in the upstream repository.

In my opinion, the best course of action would be to find out why
psvn.el was compiled in your computer, and how likely it is that
other people are suffering from the same problem.  If it was
caused by a Debian package, whether subversion or something else,
it would make sense to make the Debian subversion package remove
the file.  To get the file removed as soon as the new version of
the package is installed, it should be done in postinst or
perhaps preinst, rather than postrm.

Do you have other /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/*.elc files?
I believe there shouldn't be any; if Emacs Lisp files of other
packages have become compiled there as well, the emacsen-common
package might be a better place for the *.elc removing script.
