AIUI git-svnimport provides a subset of git-svn's functionality. There've been some problems with git-svnimport reported through the Debian BTS

 http://bugs.debian.org/436930
 http://bugs.debian.org/447325
 http://bugs.debian.org/447965

I'm not sure these are worth fixing, I'd rather suggest to drop git-svnimport in favor of git-svn, and not installing it in future versions.
