Assuming you have version 1.0 from your Debian testing; you need to
check out the 
...site-packages/MoinMoin/config.py 
module. That is in a dictionary format, don't change it. Instead in
your ...moin/mywiki/moin_config.py 
module you need to set a variable like this:
navi_bar = ['FrontPage',
        'RecentChanges',
        'TitleIndex',
        'WordIndex',
        'SiteNavigation',
        'HelpContents',]
to override the default.

The answer to "InterWiki" is also in the config.py module, I think you
want to set the "interwikiname" variable to a string in moin_config.py
(never tried it myself).
