The other thing you might try is adding (after automake/autoconf etc.)
the "-q" (or "--no-init-file") option to the line that calls in the
generated Makefile, to prevent loading your local ~/.emacs and
default.el.

I notice that your existing line:

/usr/bin/emacs -batch -l '/home/install/swarm-cvs/swarm/src/getters.elc'
-f generate-SwarmEnvironment-getters
Loading 00debian-vars...

starts loading the 00debian-vars site package and/or your local
~/.emacs file, both of which could possibly (although unlikely) get in
the way of the Swarm functions, so with the change to the Makefile you
would get a line like this:

/usr/bin/emacs -q -batch -l '/home/install/swarm-cvs/swarm/src/getters.elc'
-f generate-SwarmEnvironment-getters
Loading 00debian-vars...
