You were right.
There is new entry
NVVMIR_LIBRARY_DIR = $(TOP)/nvvm/libdevice

after adding line
NVVMIR_LIBRARY_DIR = /usr/lib/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/libdevice
to nvcc.profile PyCUDA works without any problems.

libcuinj64.so:
Selecting previously unselected package libcuinj64-5.0:amd64.
(Reading database ... 720002 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libcuinj64-5.0:amd64
