For sword, I didn't applied any patch to the sword tarball, I just added
a copy of the debian directory and wrote a questionnable rules file.

It works but it's far from being compliant with the debian policy and
rules.
I just wanted a running libsword for using with GS.

For Gnomesword, the debian directory is now part of the tarball. I
suppose that we have to remove it if we want to follow the Debian
Policy.
