Not by itself. You need to run something that will actually use that
substitution variable.
By default you should be using Pybuild in new packages for Python code.
This will bring many benefits, including interpolate the substvars for
Python.

Still needed. Build dependencies are not affected by Debhelper. If the
build depends on ‘foo’, use of Debhelper won't take away the need to
declare “Build-Depends: foo”.

That directory is effectively auto-generated garbage for a Debian
package, it needs to be cleaned.
Use the ‘clean’ target to remove files you don't need. Debhelper's
‘dh_clean’ is useful here, see its man page.
