Hm, don't think so.
Subversion is not installed when choosing "Standard system" and "Desktop system" with tasksel.
I tried to build flashrom on a freshly installed Debian unstable machine (alpha) and I couldn't check-out the source because of the missing subversion.
You should not checkout the source (via svn) to build the Debian package. The package as it's available in Debian does not require subversion as build-dependency. Only if you do a manual checkout and build of flashrom you need subversion, but that's unrelated to the Debian package.
I just tested with the current version in unstable and it builds fine without subversion installed:
$ dpkg --purge subversion $ apt-get source flashrom $ cd flashrom-0.9.1+r946 $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
