I filed a bug report with Debian:

so hopefully they will update soon.

MPB installs a libmpb.a into /usr/local/lib (or wherever it is installed).   This is mainly so that MPB can be called from within Meep.   I don't have any very clean library interface to MPB, right now Meep is just calling the internal MPB routines directly.  See:

	https://github.com/stevengj/meep/blob/master/src/mpb.cpp

I don't want to document this internal interface.   If someone were to submit a patch with a nice higher-level interface, that might be worth considering.
