check for the cython package (should be 0.9.something) and download my  
python-evas package again. i had no problems installing it, so probably it  
got corrupted during download.

debian-gta02:/tmp# md5sum python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb

yes, but it is built against cython 0.10, not 0.9.
so far there where no reports if this is fixed, so on every update, that  
tries to installing cython and python-evas i manually install all packages  
except these two.
you could even use pinning in /etc/apt/preferences, thus the packages  
would be not upgraded -- but this way i always remember to check, if  
something changed.
