Hi Tom,

you could try to pin to the cython package from unstable. However you
might need to pull in quite a few dependencies from unstable. Have a
look at the debian apt howto:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html#contents
specifically sections 
3.8 How to keep a mixed system 
and 
3.10 How to keep specific versions of packages installed (complex)

Cheers
Jochen
