the build and installation is just fine, the issue is that this file has
a RUNPATH set to folder there it was compiled. It should have *no* RUNPATH.

Partially correct. :-)
In Debian the build folder is created by '/build/$PACKAGE_$VERSION', the
out of tree build is typically done within the folder debian/build so
the root for building all is

   /build/kicad-5.0.0~rc0+dfsg1/debian/build/...

So yes, the the first line from my paste is the build path, the second
line is just the output of 'ldd' with a grepped 'build' as argument.
_pcbnew.so is looking for libkicad_3dsg.so.2.0.0 in the path which is
shown there. And this is obviously wrong.

The installation of this private library is no problem, kicad does here
exactly what the standard folder is if the INSTALL_PATH isn't given. No
need something to change here.

I have really no knowledge about cmake, but I can see some information
of setting the RUNPATH to an empty string while installing binaries or
shared objects in opposite of this Python library.

It's probably just a small thing that is needed to add $SOMETHERE to the
installation of this Python library.
