First of all, firefox isn't stored in svn. And even if it was, firefox 3.0.1 is out so there's no need to use it, I think aptitude install iceweasel should do the trick. As for conflicts between debian packages and software built from source, I usually just install, say, svn orca into /usr over the OS-installed package. However, you could also install into /usr/local, but then I never got gnome to call my svn orca over the default installed one when it was installed there. Hth somewhat.
