Yes, and I think a simple solution to that (other than making the
symbolic link) is to define SWIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/swig2.0 in
natty.platform and then add this to the configure options in
{ufc,dolfin,trilinos}.package. Something like this:

if [ ! -z "${SWIG_EXECUTABLE}" ]; then
    CONFOPTS="${CONFOPTS} -D SWIG_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/swig2.0"
fi
