Public bug reported:

Please sync swig 4.2.1-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * d/p/fix-subversion-build-with-ruby3.2.patch: backport upstream patch to
    fix subversion FTBFS.


The backported upstream patch in the Ubuntu delta is part of the upstream
v4.2.1 release which is the new Debian package. But when I tried to verify
that the patch is indeed present in the Debian package/upstream I was little
confused as I could not find some of the changes.
On further looking I found that the backported patch introduced a regression
and so upstream has made further changes to it via 
https://github.com/swig/swig/commit/84a2c45d66f0334f8fe67077311383af11a2d5c8
