I can find Ubuntu packages for 0.16 and 0.17:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/python-m2crypto
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/python-m2crypto

So, clearly some people are managing to build the library, even if it
isn't the absolute latest version. You might want to take a look at
the source packages and the patches the distribution people apply,
although it doesn't look like they are actually doing much patching.
The source packages suggest that they use SWIG 1.3.24 to build
M2Crypto - is that what you're using?
