I would avoid advertising it to users. It's a development build script, not an installation method for production deployments (unless maybe if handled by someone who really knows what they are doing and isn't just following installation instructions). End-users should be using their operating system's package manager to install Subbersion. And all the Linux/Unix-like distribution packagers already have their own dependency tracking solution. (I'm ignoring Windows here because get-deps.sh doesn't apply when building on Windows.)
