From the upstream changelog:

>   + Put files that vary with Python version (*.c, config.pxi) into a
>     version-specific temporary directory.

The problem is that, as seen above, distutils puts the platform name in 
the temporary build directory name; and the platform name depends on 
uname:

$ linux32 python -c 'import distutils.util as u; print u.get_platform()'
linux-i686
$ linux64 python -c 'import distutils.util as u; print u.get_platform()'
linux-x86_64

So ideally this should be fixed in distutils. But it should be possible 
to work around this by passing appropriate --build-temp to "setup.py 
build".

(No clue about the Debian package, just being upstream.)
