Seems like all we have to do is 'substitute*' a '/usr/bin/svnserve'
into a '/gnu/store/...' (untested), so seems actionable to me.
Alternatively, as Efraim wrote, let it search the $PATH (that might be
useful if adding svnserve would increase the closure too much and it is
an optional dependency in practice?).
