Normally I wouldn't propose such extensive changes to debian/rules, but
in this case updating debhelper is a significant aid in packaging of
python modules, and particularly for python3 modules.
FWIW, no, debhelper offers no aid for packaging Python 3 modules. That's
why you had to add a dozens of lines of code to debian/rules to make
it build.
In contrast, I estimate that adapting the current debian/rules would be
a 2 line change: update PYVERS to include Python 3 versions, and add a
call to dh_python3. (Plus another 3 lines to fix Policy §4.6
violations…)
-Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0.37.2), python-all-dev (>= 2.3.5-11),
libpam0g-dev, python-support
+Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), python-all-dev (>= 2.3.5-11),
python3-all-dev, libpam0g-dev
It should be:
python-all-dev (>= 2.6.6-3~)
python3-all-dev (>= 3.2)
Conflicts: python2.3-pam, python2.4-pam
Replaces: python2.3-pam, python2.4-pam
Provides: ${python:Provides}
+XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions}
This part is not documented in the changelog. It's also wrong:
XB-Python-Version has been depracted (Python Policy §2.3), so please
don't add it.
+Suggests: python3-pam-dbg

In case it's not clear, this unusual wildcard in the first line is
presumably here to exclude extension modules built for -dbg interpreters
(*_d.so). However, python-pam doesn't currently build such modules…

Again, the wildcard in the first line is to exclude extension modules
built for -dbg interpeters (*-cpython3?-d*.so).
