Debian/Ubuntu doesn't link against the library because it would add dependencies on all supported Python versions. Normally this is just during transition times, but e.g. for the upcoming Ubuntu 18.10 release we didn't finish the transition and so ship two Python3 versions. The packaging tools would add package dependencies on both 3.6 and 3.7 what you don't want.
