Hello, This is related to the problem that I encountered when trying to build syfi from the deb-src in debian/sid. If you install the packages from the fenics repository in debian, *not* ubuntu, libdolfin-dev gets installed under /usr/lib/python2.5/... but ffc etc are installed under the *default* python library tree, which is python 2.4 as far as debian is concerned. My suggestion is to package them with an explicit dependency on python 2.5 so that it can also play nice with debian.
