Hi, I think I had the same problem: the installation of libcherokee-config0 failed since the 0.99.13 because of the "not directory" /usr/share/python-support/libcherokee-config0.private. The version of Debian I use is Lenny and I believe there was an incompatibility with its version of python-support, I upgraded it to the one in testing and the installation of cherokee worked. I hope it will help you.
