I think this patch needs to be applied:

However, the cython build fails then:

cd . && python2.4 setup.py build --build-base="/tmp/buildd/cython-0.9.8/./build"
/bin/sh: python2.4: command not found
make: *** [python-build-stamp-2.4] Error 127

Now I am investigating why. python2.4 is not called from Cython, so
it's seems some Debian thing. CCing to Tim -- I am quite busy today, I
really need to work on my thesis, so I'd appreciate any help with
this.
