You could try just installing the old grass and installing your source  
built one into  a different prefix. The I believe you can use the  
GISBASE environment variable to point to the new one, and perhaps you  
need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the svn grass libs get used  
preferentially over the apt installed ones.

As an aside, trying to mix source built and package manage software is  
probably always going to require some kind of trade off....
