Ok I thought I would try again from scratch using specific
instructions but you're right let's start from an actual config and
work our way from there.

So I will start with what seems to be the closest configuration to
what I actually want to achieve:

1. The actual Apache configuration snippets for mod_wsgi you are
using:

<VirtualHost someserver:80>
    ServerName myvirtualhost

    DocumentRoot /path/to/my/project/apache/documents

    <Directory /path/to/my/project/apache/documents>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>

    # I comment this line so the server starts in embedded mode and I
get the errors in Apache error.log
    # (I can't see any error in daemon mode)
    #WSGIDaemonProcess django processes=2 threads=5 display-
name=myproject user=myuser group=mygroup
    WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/my/project/apache/settings.wsgi

    <Directory /path/to/my/project/apache>
    #WSGIProcessGroup django
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

2. The contents of your WSGI script file:

import os
import sys

root = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..')
sys.path.insert(0, root)

activate_this = os.path.join(root, 'bin/activate_this.py')
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

 3. Indicate how you created the virtual environment, did you use
 --no-site-packages option to virtualenv.

Yes I used  --no-site-packages

 4. The actual error messages from the Apache error logs you are
 getting showing there is a problem.

With this config, the apache error log gives this output:

[Wed Nov 02 21:27:14 2011] [info] mod_wsgi (pid=4658): Create
interpreter 'myproject.myhost|'.
[Wed Nov 02 21:27:14 2011] [info] [client IP] mod_wsgi (pid=4658,
process='', application='myproject.myhost|'): Loading WSGI script '/

django.core.handlers.wsgi

Python.
[Wed Nov 02 21:27:14 2011] [info] mod_wsgi (pid=4663): Attach
interpreter ''.

Another interesting thing to note is that on my local system I can
source bin/activate and start python and load django but on the Debian
with Apache and mod_wsgi I have just tried the same and cannot load
django. Before trying this method I tried some of the other methods
described in the video "Getting started with Apache/mod_wsgi" at Pycon
Australia and I could successfully load django. I don't know what went
wrong then.

Any idea?
Thanks
