Bug#525591: libffi: Observation of pygobject_2.16.1-1 FTBFS
Package: libffi
Version: 3.0.7-1
Followup-For: Bug #525591
Not exactly. That's debian/rules what mangles with ffi.h location.

And, I suppose, that would be OK, if other build process would look in
host specific directory also. Instead pygobject relies on pkg-config.
Surprisingly, pkg-config has nothing to say about location of include
files. Because:
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: libffi
Description: Library supporting Foreign Function Interfaces
Version: 3.0.7
Libs: -lffi
Cflags:
That's exact contents of libffi.pc as shipped with libffi-dev_3.0.7-1 .
My overoptemistic attempt to fix this by adding --with-includedir has
failed. Not because mv of debian/rules has failed to find any headers,
but because Cflags: line of libffi.pc happened to be still empty.
Thus me wonders, is that about lintian warning on ancient libtool? I
wouldn't say that's grave, maybe important?
