Good work!
However (there's always a however :) - would it be possible to further
extend this to subversion-client and subversion-server (the latter
having all the web stuff, and the former just having the basic clients).
As things stand right now, when rolling out localized package sets for
large numbers of machines, you have to go through all kinds of hoops
in order to not have apache (or whatever) on every machine that needs
subversion.
Compare this, for example, with postgresql*-{client,server}, mysql*-
{client,server}, openldap*-{client,server}, where it's only necessary
to have the server portions on those boxes that, well, run the
servers, with *-client being installed everywhere.
