Helping upstream improve their python packaging would be my preferred solution
too. Though as upstream seems busy I'm not sure how long it will take for them
to review my proposed patches. [1]
Using get-orig-source to retrieve the from their subversion repository looks
like a good path as well. (Upstream had said that they were viewing the pypi
repository as "partially compiled" so they're more focused on including the
auto-generated code than the cython .pyx and swig .i files.)
Thank you for the recommendation.

it build with out swig installed.
