You're right, I was not very accurate.

cython 0.12 package:
$ dpkg -L cython | grep Includes | wc -l
38

manual install of cython 0.13:
$ find /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Cython/Includes/ | wc -l
101

I downloaded cython 0.12 to compare with the package and indeed, the 
package has everything included.
I suppose that the problem comes from the library that I was building 
(pyzmq): it probably requires cython 0.13.
The 0.13 version does not have cpython.pxd but it has a cpython 
directory with __init__.pxd (if I understand how cython works, that 
mimics Python's modules & packages behaviour).
I probably made a silly mistake: removing the cython package and doing a 
"dpkg -S Include" afterward... Silly me!
Please accept my apologies for the invalid bug report.
(Now, how do I lobby for inclusion of cython 0.13 into the repository? ;-))

Best regards,
