Thanks for the detailed answers, for now I
had a solution like that:

I visited:

/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/gnus 

and at 77.line which is:

trap "test -f $LOG && mv -f $LOG  $ELCDIR/install.log > /dev/null 2>&1" exit

I changed to:

trap "test -f $LOG && mv -f $LOG  $ELCDIR/install.log > /dev/null 2>&1" EXIT

based on this resource (http://tille.soti.org/training/bash/ch12s02.html).
(maybe that was stupid bu I just did it in a moment of frenzy :)
And then:

--------------------------------------------------------
debian:/home/fz# dpkg-reconfigure --force gnus
install/gnus: Ignoring emacs.
install/gnus: Ignoring emacs20.
install/gnus: Byte-compiling for emacs21...found emacs21 ..
Creating config file /etc/emacs21/site-start.d/20gnus-init.el with new version
done.
--------------------------------------------------------

dpkg still reports that "gnus icin not configured or broken" but at least
when I restarted Emacs and then gnus it works much faster and more comfortable.

I'll also try to uninstall emacs20 as suggested and reinstall ilisp
in order to bring order to chaos :)
