The debug.py file probably failed because it could not find the
lsb_release command, which might be a Debian specific thing, I'm not
sure.  The Segmentation fault is likely caused by our video library,
MLT.  I would check and see if the following things work:

Command 1:
$ melt

If the command is found, and no errors are reported, then it is probably
installed correctly.

Command 2:
$ python
>> import mlt
>> f = mlt.Factory()
>> f.init()

If no errors are reported in Python, then MLT is most likely installed
correctly.

Also, you might try modifying the debug.py file, to remove the few lines
related to "lsb_release", since the rest of that script tests all of
these things.  Good luck.
