I thought Carsten was saying that jessie-backports does have SWIG 3.0.10 and so we can upgrade swig on the kicad-qa without changing to a newer debian. @Andrew - can you compile your changes on debian 8 using the swig from backports as Carsten described? If not, then this is moot and we'd need to look at a SWIG-specific VECTOR2, an outcome that might be long-term problematic. -S
