Heads up.
Debian screwed up. As a result all ssh and ssl keys generated in the last 18 months on debian and ubuntu systems may be compromised due to not using a good random number generator seed. http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html and http://www.links.org/?p=327
If you generated your python subversion ssh key during this time on a machine fitting the description above, please consider replacing your keys.
apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade on debian will provide you with a ssh-vulnkey program that can be used to test if your ssh keys are valid or not.
