`svn` refers a command line tool for a //Subversion// revision control
system. So you need to install it to Ubuntu, not Python.
Do you have a suggestion how to change the wording, so it is more
understandable what to install? (We have somewhere else also the case when
the thing to install is a Python package (e.g., *matplotlib*) but it is
still usually installed as an Ubuntu package, although some people may
prefer to install it to using a Python way such as `pip`.)
About the QGIS repository, I think you would get same issue with any repo,
but I might be wrong about that. `svn` (//Subversion//) is not a
requirement, although it is necessary for installing addons (on unix-like
systems). So `svn` is an additional or recommend dependency.

Do we really have to depend on svn for g.extension ? AFAIK, trac can be
configured to allow download of tarballs of specific directories. How
about enabling this for the addons directory and then just have
g.extension download these tarballs ?
