Use /usr/lib/postgresql/$version/bin/pg_config, and adapt your
extension's Makefile to target that. For example with the following in
the Makefile:

PG_CONFIG ?= pg_config

And the call like this from debian/rules or elsewhere:
make PG_CONFIG=/usr/lib/postgresql/$version/bin/pg_config

I'm preparing some tools to automate all this for debian packaging
extensions, see the following:
