IMHO, this is not enough, according to the policy:

"Every package must specify the dependency information about other
packages that are required for the first to work correctly."

AFAICT, svn-upgrade does not work properly, more than that, it does not
work at all. I haven't seen any place in the policy where it says "it is
acceptable for 1/3 of the packages not to work" or something simillar

The fact that svn-upgrade works for most people is just lucky. Is not
any merit of svn-buildpackage that svn-upgrade works. And since
debhelper is not yet build-essential, the dependency should be declared,
AFAICT.

If you think that Depends is too much, then Recommends should be ok, right?
