I agree, this bug only applies to sid. Setting the "sid" tag now.

IMHO swig 2.0.8 shouldn't have been uploaded to sid during the freeze in
the first place. Now that the damage is done I do not see why the bug
in dolfin shouldn't be fixed in sid. I didn't look at the patch yet but if
it fills into the binary package a dependency on a sepcific version of 
swig then the package won't migrate to wheezy anyway.
