I asked around #debian-mentors if there was a good way to do this (like a shlibdeps but for headers) but apparently there is none.

No, there is nothing like "shlibdeps" for C++ headers AFAIK. You have
to manually add/remove them as code changes :(

I did a quick review and you declare Std-Vers 3.9.4 but -arch and
-indep rules are merged ? You need to split them. Typically
python-sphinx should be listed in Build-Depends-Indep, and d/rules
should build doc package in -indep. See man dh for -arch -indep
(section EXAMPLES). You can then test using dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B.

Let me know if something was not clear.
