Yes, that is a typo.

I don't think you understand correctly... SWIG source itself would not be
included in the tarball, just the generated files.
SWIG has always been able to run itself from the build directory without
running make install. This is used for example by our test suite and
such. We recently made it easier to run SWIG directly from the build
directory without having to run make install by adding a preinst-swig.in
script (which gets turned into preinst-swig).
So if you compile SWIG wherever and then run
$ /path/to/SWIG/preinst-swig -options ....
and then you run make install to install SWIG and run
$ swig -options....
These two do exactly the same thing (where the second one searches for swig
on the path and so on) and will produce exactly the same files. And it is
only the generated files that need to be added into the tarball.
You just have to keep in mind that SWIG is now a build time only tool that
exports C and python code that is stand alone and that SWIG can be run to
generate that code directly from the build directory without installing it.
