Come on, you must be kidding.

1) the problem is already known and you are even referencing that other
   bug report
2) this breaks only php wrappers generated by swig. Given that swig can
   generate wrappers for 15 other languages I'd hardly agree that this 
   makes the package unusable. For example the subversion bindings for
   perl and python are generated using this swig and are working just
   fine.

I know.

Yes, I reported it.

No, they don't have the knowledge of PHP.

This is false.

So this is false as well.

Me neither.

That's interesting, I did not know of any package using swig to generate
PHP bindings. I'll try to find a way to fix this. Steve Langasek already 
offered his help as well.
