everything but the regeneration in debian/rules and the interp patch.
But it means fixing bugs/security issues post release will be hard and
we don't profit from the cython bugfixes since the files were generated
(we have no reports of issues related to that). Most were generated with
cython 0.15 whereas wheezy has 0.15.1.

In my opinion just adding the sources without using them is just
orig-tar cosmetics we might as well wheezy-ignore.
