Thanks for this bug report.

Jelmer, it looks like swat2 hasn't been touched in Debian since the initial
upload to experimental two years ago; and of course there's just been the
announcement upstream that swat (the original) would be dropped from the
tree, without replacement.  I think the right course of action here is to
request removal of the swat2 package from experimental.  Are you happy for
me to reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org?
