First, you don't specify, but assuming this is python3: The preferred mechanism would be to install the .so file into: usr/lib/python3.X/dist-packages/ (where X is the python3 version you are building with) Then use dh_python3 and ${python3:Depends} to install it in the correct final location and generate appropriate Python interpreter dependencies.
