keyword_arguments Module argument was introduced in SIP 4.12
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/hg/sip/rev/4a79f5996bd7
Current requirement for QGIS in INSTALL is SIP >= 4.8
Is it really necessary to have keyword_arguments? If yes, we have to
increase the required SIP version in INSTALL. The SIP version should
also be checked by CMakeLists.txt but I don't see any test.

It would mean that Python support will not work on Debian 6.0 Squeeze, bad IMO.
