The problem is in the debian package not with fontforge itself - I just removed the debian fontforge and built fontforge from source using fontforge_full-20110222.tar.bz2. The build from source does not have the same problem.
The process of making did require pythonui.c which did not register as a problem at the configure stage but only at the make stage - I am using python 2.6.6 So no need I think to contact George Williams himself however who is able to remake the package?
