Version: 1.0.0+dfsg-1 I attach the trivial solution for the bug: the library header cuneiform.h is packaged as libcuneiform-dev.deb
Please consider for inclusion. Perhaps it also makes sense to split "cuneiform" package into "cuneiform" (binary only) and "libcuneiform" (.so only) and update the dependencies.
