[needs-packaging] Add python3 version of cython

[Michael Helmling]

Cython (cython.org) in the current version supports python3, however ubuntu (up to oneiric alpha) only includes modules compiled for python2.6 and 2.7. Perhaps a separate package 'python3-cython' would be appropriate, since this scheme seems to be used for other libraries as well.

Debian has experimental packages for cython for python3 in their tree. Maybe good for an easy start?

    (was triggered by some tests leading to FTBFS)

  * debian/patches
    - dropped (upstreamed)
    - added up_upstream_cache_ext_suffix to resolve failure due to multiarch
