Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PYTHON_CFLAGS
and PYTHON_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

You do not seem to have a python package (in terms of pkg-config). Installing python3-dev gets the necessary metadata on the system (libpython3-dev should actually be sufficient).

You will not get a working installation with your system's Python distribution as it does not add the site-packages directory to its search paths. dh-python can handle paths for you if you build a proper deb package.
