Bug#805684: python-box2d: FTBFS: swig doesn't like some comment styles any more

[SamuelOPH]

Thanks a lot Jonas,

Eriberto (my sponsor) already uploaded the new changes.

I'm currently starting at the packaging proccess and making some NMUs is
great to achieve more experience.

Are there any plans to update to pybox 2.3.1?
Is there anything I can help?
