PyCUDA is built and depends on Debian packages. So if you install
PyCUDA from Debian it will fetch all needed CUDA packages.
You can also build PyCUDA from sources - if you want to do so
I would advise you to look at debian/rules (from PyCUDA package
source) to see options I used to build it.

Regards.
