Hi,
Yes, I have libmesh working on debian--woody. There are two things
related to petsc. First you have to set environment variables 
PETSC_DIR and PETSC_ARCH. As Jens said 
PETSC_DIR="/usr/lib/petsc" and PETSC_ARCH="linux". 
Second, the petsc in debian package is *dynamically* linked with
mpi libraries and I had to add them manually to FLIBS in Make.common
after configuration. Ben, would be variables LIBS or LDFLAGS 
the better place for this? I thought, that "F" means fortran in FLIBS.
