They aren't in Debian, which certainly inhibits my ability to find it.
If someone asks me what GUI wrappers for Darcs exist, I tell them that
I'm not aware of any actively maintained ones -- and I'm not.

Well, it's a mess.

Sometimes it seems like I'm the only person who *likes* keyboards and
character-cell displays...

$ aptitude search '~G::rcs ~d~(GUI~|graphical~)'
archway        GUI for GNU Arch
bzr-gtk        provides graphical interfaces to Bazaar (bzr) version control
cervisia       a graphical CVS front end for KDE
commit-tool    GUI commit tool for various Source Control Management systems
crossvc        graphical CVS frontend
esvn           frontend for the Subversion revision system written in Qt
gcvs           Graphical frontend for CVS
git-gui        fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (GUI)
gquilt         graphical wrapper for quilt and/or mercurial
kdesvn         subversion client with tight KDE integration
qct            GUI commit tool
qgit           Qt application for viewing GIT trees
rapidsvn       A GUI client for subversion
svn-workbench  A Workbench for Subversion
syrep          A generic file repository synchronization tool
tkcvs          A graphical front-end to CVS and Subversion

Of course, I used vc-darcs.el and darcsum.el before they broke, and
hopefully will get back into the habit of using them.

Oh, and a patch graph tool like "hg glog", "bzr viz" or giggle would
be nice, though as "hg glog" shows, it can still be done on a charcell
display.  Camp has one, but AFAIK it hasn't been backported to Darcs.
