well if a Debian specific requirements/download/compile/install/running
instruction would be usefull for the manual to fill in chapter 2 let me know

python 2.6 seems fine - the problem was that it depends on pkg-config and 
for python2.6 there was no package config file in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ - bute 
force solution isntall python 3.1 (which comes with a valid .pc file) 
copy python-3.1.pc to python-2.6.pc and fix it up manually (its only a 
few lines) then rebuild coccinelle with 
./configure  --with-python --enable-python --enable-pycaml

 and that gives me

root at Xil:~/tools/coccinelle-1.0.0-rc18# spatch --version
spatch version 1.0.0-rc17 with Python support and with Str regexp support root at X

since make coccicheck works again in the kernel I guess its fine.

thx!
