Ok,it works now !

So here are the step which worked for me :
- installing the debian swig package : sudo apt-get install swig
- configuring the build (ccmake) following [1] instructions, except for
the ITK_USE_SYSTEM_SWIG which should be turned to ON. Typing 'c' and
check you have :
        SWIG_DIR=/usr/share/swig1.3
        SWIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/swig 
- add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc (or wherever you set your
shell env variables) :
        
        export ITK_VERSION=4.1
        export VTK_VERSION=5.8
        export ITKWRAPPEDINSTALLED=/usr/local/lib/cmake/ITK-${ITK_VERSION}/WrapITK/
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ITKWRAPPEDINSTALLED}:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/vtk-${VTK_VERSION}/
        export PYTHONPATH=$ITKWRAPPEDINSTALLED:/usr/local/lib/ITK-${ITK_VERSION}/Python
        
Of course you should adapt versions and install path. I didn't changed
the install path, so if you let the default configuration and where able
to install it there (may require some privileges), it should work . 

Also I installed some other packages during the week, so it may requires
more dependances than just the swig package. I can't tell which are
really required but here are some which may not be completely
irrelevant:
- python-sip-dev
- python-sip
- glutg3-dev

Of course you need the compilation tool chain:
- make
- bison
- cmake
- ccmake
- cmake-curses-gui
- g++
- gccxml

Where should I preferably put documentation on this topic ? I may create
a
http://farsight-toolkit.org/wiki/FARSIGHT_Tutorials/Building_Software/Building_ITK/Debian wiki page, if you like.

Thank everybody for your help and answers.

Kind regards,
Mathieu
