Hm, don't think so. > Subversion is not installed when > choosing "Standard system" and "Desktop system" with tasksel. > > I tried to build flashrom on a freshly installed Debian unstable > machine (alpha) and I couldn't check-out the source because of the > missing subversion. You should not checkout the source (via svn) to build the Debian package. The package as it's available in Debian does not require subversion as build-dependency. Only if you do a manual checkout and build of flashrom you need subversion, but that's unrelated to the Debian package. I just tested with the current version in unstable and it builds fine without subversion installed: $ dpkg --purge subversion $ apt-get source flashrom $ cd flashrom-0.9.1+r946 $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot Uwe.
