Is /opt/swift/bin/swift really a directory? I'd expect it to be
just a shell script invoking swift.bin (after possibly setting
up some environment).

Hmmm. "it" meaning the very same file, i.e. Arch and Debian share a
file system? Or a copy of the file?

If the last is the case, could you compare their checksums, i.e.

  sha1sum /opt/swift/bin/swift.bin

Are they equal?

(No need to do it if the first is the case, of course).

Just a shot in the dark: quoting a previous mail from you

Does /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 exist on your Debian box? (would be
strange if not, but hey...)
