This is definitely getting off topic for bazaar@; please send any
followups to launchpad-users at lists.launchpad.net so we don't bore
people using bzr as a standalone tool.

But just to answer your question, since we're here, the immediate
reason fro the failure of the second is (from the failure log)

checking for Python.h... yes
checking for swig... no
configure: error: *** couldn't find swig
make: *** [config.status] Error 1

which suggests that you need to add it as a builddep but you haven't.
Maybe the dependency is just not present in the branch you're
packaging?
