FYI,

it seems that python2.7 packaged by debian is not fully compatible with 
virtualenv-1.5.1. The following changes in /usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py
fix the problem:

I suppose these changes can create other problems sooner or later so they are
not a fully satisfactory solution, just a workaround to this specific problem.
If someone has a better solution please, tell me.
