I just installed the subversion package : aptitude install subversion.
My problem is this installs the version 1.8 which is not the last (1.9)…
Why ?
Thanks.

Presumably you're installing from the Jessie Debian repositories.
Debian Jessie, being the latest stable release of Debian, only serves packages which it deems to be stable. You can read more about this here.
Currently, Debian Jessie (stable) ships with Subversion 1.8.10-6+deb8u1 whilst Debian Stretch (testing) ships with Subversion 1.9.2-2. Once the version available in Debian Stretch has been tested and is considered stable it will likely be added to the Jessie (Backports) repository where it can be installed from there.
You can see this here.
Debian are tracking bugs with Subversion 1.9 here.
If you need to install version 1.9 on Debian Jessie then you will have to build it from source; you can find information about installing from source here.
