can we set svn:external for a single file in debian

              this is only true for subversion < 1.6 since subversion 1.6 external can point to single files

              Yes you can if can you use svn version >= 1.6.

...as drobert pointed out in a comment, svn 1.6 is still experimental in debian.

              ... and since the question was "in debian" [sic], Subversion 1.6 is in testing, and will be released as part of Squeeze. Lenny still has 1.5. However, Michael Diers has made a backport: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.backports.general/5391
