wrong!

$> acpolicy cython
cython:
  Installed: 0.12.1-1.1
  Candidate: 0.12.1-1.1
  Version table:
 *** 0.12.1-1.1 0

$> dpkg -L cython | grep Include | head

could you be more specific -- i.e. list the files missing from .deb?  does it
have a mysterious cpython.pxd (0.13 provides complete directory cpython/, but
still no cpython.pxd)?

indeed would be the case if the observation was correct
