Is is complaining about the client-side bindings, that is, the Python
library used to talk with the SVN server.

On Debian the bindings come in a package called python-subversion. You
can download the bindings as part of Subversion from:

  http://subversion.tigris.org/

I believe you want the ones in subversion/bindings/swig/.
