Yes, ctypes alternative should be provided too.

Title:
  New python ctypes bindings not included in python-subversion package

Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: subversion

  Since 1.5, subversion now has two different python bindings. One is
  swig based, the other is ctypes based. The new ctypes one lives in
  /bindings/ctypes-python/, eg
  http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/ctypes-
  python/

  Currently, the python-subversion package only includes the swig
  bindings

  The ctype bindings seem to allow for more succinct code, and
  potentially fewer problems with callbacks (as discussed at
  http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2008-08/0748.shtml for example)

  So, I'd suggest that the python-subversion package should be extended
  to also hold the ctypes bindings, in addition to the current swig
  ones.
