I think it's sorted now. I did a dist-upgrade and I've got a comp command in the path now: /usr/bin/comp, owned by the machinekit-xenomai package. I'm not sure what was wrong previously, but I think I got confused chasing the red-herring of a missing machinekit-dev package which I didn't need, when all I really needed was to update to the latest packages.
Thanks!
