You're right, it's the way to go : drop libswt-* packages from eclipse source 
tarball and replace them with packages from swt source package (and not the 
other way, as I said earlier).

What's your timeline here :
- Upload swt-gtk 3.5.1 source package as is ?
- Remove eclipse swt packages now (seems a huge task) ?
- Upload eclipse 3.5 unchanged ?
