I must confess, I didn't read "README.Debian" completely, I only saw an
example how to configure my wiki and skipped the rest.

If you want to fix it (only) in the documentation, I'd add a note in
section "Example: A single wiki as CGI with Apache 1.3" linking to
"Default Python and hardcoded paths".  Saying something like:  

        NB: If you use moinmoin for a version of python that differs
        from the standard version (currently 2.3), please read section
        "Default Python and hardcoded paths".

Best regards
Uwe
