I removed python-subvertpy-0.6.9 with "dpkg -r --force-depends python-subvertpy" and after this /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/subvertpy/__init__.py did not exist any more.

That makes sense, today I "upgraded" by doing dpkg -r --force-deps python-subvertpy; apt-get install python-subvertpy.  I can't remember for sure what I did yesterday but it's definitely possible that I upgraded without removing the old version beforehand.
