I agree that python-pysvn seems redundant, but that is the fault of the
project creators, and is probably not up to packagers to correct.
Naming a python package with "py" in the name is redundant itself. But,
since you're going to have to "import pysvn", you might was well be
installing python-pysvn.
Since I didn't make the deadline to have it included in F9, how
difficult/frowned upon is it to change the package name. However, it is
in F8 now...
