> will darktable correct the distortion of a fish-eye lens?

Yes: see the "lens correction" module (well, assuming that your fish-eye lens 
has less than 180° field of view, otherwise removing distortion is basically 
impossible). If your lens is not supported, you can get it calibrated: 
http://lensfun.sourceforge.net/calibration/

However, note that some "distortion" is unavoidable with very short focal lens: 
if you remove the optical distortion then straight lines in reality will remain 
straight in the picture, but you will still get the feeling of having the 
corners stretched. With an ultra-wide lens (very little optical distortion), I 
often _add_ distortion to make the image more natural (typically for landscape).
