Are things installed by debian packages manually installed ? If it is
not TurboGears, I don't even know "python setup.py install" because I
would only use apt-get.

Beside, a development system doesn't necessary mean people manually
install things to the system directories. For a debian system, it
usually just means apt-get from unstable and anything that is not
installed through apt-get(be it unstable or stable) would get a "don't
complain to us, as part of your trace contains something that we don't
know what it is" response from concerned parties.
