It should also be noted that Debian is probably the least friendly mainstream distribution to install `sway` and many of it's affiliated applications on since it relies on building from source and non-stable repositories.

Currently `swaywm` IS available in the `experimental` repositories, HOWEVER several dependencies are only available in `sid`.
