Would it make sense to use the Built-Using [1] header?
e.g.
  Built-Using: python3.8 python3.9

dh_python3 knows if the module includes extensions
(*_python*.so.) and could inject the pythons into Built-Using.

dh_golang does something like this for the Go packages. There's a
nuance which I don't fully understand about the intended use of
Built-Using, which means it's not really the proper solution for the
Go packages.  I think that's related to the fact that Go applications
are statically linked.  The Python extensions are dynamically linked
so maybe Built-Using could work fine.
