Same thing then... you're using a tool to create the HTML/XML for you.
Generate it however you want. If the final format isn't XML or similar
then normal browsers won't render it (which isn't a serious problem, but
it looks nicer formatted).

In that file (use View Source to see the XML if you're using a browser),
there is this bit:

 <requires interface="http://0install.net/2007/3rd-party/libsvn1.xml";>
   <environment insert="usr/lib" name="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"/>
 </requires>

That in turn depends on other things...

In fact, the subversion packages mirror the structure of the Debian
packages because that's where I copied the binaries from (someone was
explaining to me how it was impossible to backport svn 1.4 to Debian/sarge
because of all the dependencies...)
