Petter,

I see your points and consider them valid.

Just for the record, I worked around the problem by pointing the PCL 
setup.py script to the mapserver source/build tree from the source 
package:
$ apt-get source mapserver
$ cd mapserver-4.4.1
$ fakeroot debian/rules build-stamp
$ cd ../PCL-0.9
$ vi setup.py # edit the ms_home variable to point to ../mapserver-4.4.1
$ python setup.py build

Thanks,
Alessandro
