Right, later I saw this being used in another package:
override_dh_install:
        DEB_PY2_INCDIR=$(shell python-config --includes | sed
's,^-I\([^ ]*\).*,\1,') \
        DEB_PY3_INCDIR=$(shell python3-config --includes | sed
's,^-I\([^ ]*\).*,\1,') \
                dh_install --list-missing

And then in the install files:
#! /usr/bin/dh-exec
usr/include/pytalloc.h ${DEB_PY2_INCDIR}

and
#! /usr/bin/dh-exec
usr/include/pytalloc.h ${DEB_PY3_INCDIR}

Handy trick for when more elaborate var expanstions are needed.
