Thank you - I agree and hope to convince upstream PQconnect to pick build dependencies in a better way. This was a bit further down the dependency stack, but hopefully they can help anyway. They brought up a valid concern: prefer not to depend on things
not on PyPI and I agree (of course, within reason). It seems unshare is there:

Description : extension for C unshare() call
Python extension for C's unshare call, see unshare(2).

I recommend not adding this to Debian. This Python extension wraps a
single syscall. You can achieve a similar effect using ctypes.
import ctypes
unshare = ctypes.CDLL(None, use_errno=True)["unshare"]
unshare(flags)
The functionality being added here is useful, but in my opinion it does
not reach the bar of being sufficiently useful to warrant the cost of carrying it in Debian yet. Bear in mind that every package being added
bears a permanent cost to Debian.
Please allow me to suggest an alternative. https://git.subdivi.de/~helmut/python-linuxnamespaces.git/
Disclaimer: I am the author of the alternative.
I did not dare to propose adding this to Debian yet, because I consider
it work in progress, but even at this time, it does so much more than
the module you propose that it probably is worth looking into. It is not
API compatible, because it uses the enum module instead of numeric
constants. It also includes a pile of examples for more elaborate
container construction.
Helmut
