Found it. It is coming from the Debian postgresql-common

/usr/bin/pg_config is wrapper that contains:

# If postgresql-server-dev-* is installed, call pg_config from the latest

Ah, that makes sense. The error message, however, is
misleading:
You need to install postgresql-server-dev-NN
for building a server-side extension
or libpq-dev
for building a client-side application.
because the user calling `pg_config' may not be intent upon
buidling either kind of application. Stating that pg_config
requires one of these pachages would be more understandable.
Thank you very much.
That is a request for the Debian packaging team.
