You've got a point here. The -dev package for swig is the main swig
package but it might be a good idea to pull in the runtime packages as
well so the symlink is always satisfied.
1.3.24 removed the runtime thought so this problem with just disappear
with it.

The .so files are needed during building programs depending on those
libraries. So basically if you install swig and build guile plugins
building will fail because of this bug.
Thanks for reporting
