The rdmanifest specification is described in REP-112.

It doesn't look like there's support for checking out dependencies directly from SVN.

In general, depending on checking out and installing HEAD from an SVN repository is a bad idea, because it exposes your software to regressions and API changes in the package you're depending on. You should instead depend on a specific version of your dependency, and the easiest way to do this is by depending on a release tarball.

rdmanifest dependencies are also a bad idea because they will probably prevent your package from ever being released to debs.

You may also want to look into the process for packaging and releasing your dependency as a third-party library as described in REP-136
