Done: swig is now executed in pre-build target. I patched arg.i to fix warnings about deprecated syntax. I added swig to the dependencies.

Done: I added a patch to remove darts.h and fix yamcha accoringly. I added darts to Built-Using and to the dependencies.

Unfortunately I have never been able to run help2man and to obtain good looking (i.e., no lintian complaints) manpages.
When using help2man my workflow is usually:
1) run help2man;
2) edit the files to fix issues (e.g., missing escapes, missing short command description, ...);
3) on command updates re-run help2man and manually compare (and merge) the new and old manpages.
I really do not like this workflow, but is the best I have found up to now.
Do you have any suggestion?
Bests,
Giulio.
