It was what's known as a "versioned close", which means that if you
tell the BTS that you are interested in unstable, testing, or stable,
it will still show the bug as open, because the bug-closing version is
not in those suites yet.

Also, the bug I closed is related to the fact that libaprutil1 uses
db4.4, and this only affects subversion in experimental.  Then
yesterday, a couple weeks _after_ this bug was reported and closed,
somebody NMU'd apache2 2.0.55-4.2 to sid, which created another similar
bug, only this one affects subversion in sid.  Of course, the guy who
did the NMU did not bother to notify those of us who are affected.

Right, I'll do that today if I can find a sponsor.  Can you please
update your build-depends to 'libsvn-dev | libsvn0-dev (>= 1.2.0)'?
I've already renamed it in experimental, along with two other packages,
and I'd like to migrate that change to unstable some time soon.
