On Debian it should be in the pps-tools package. The file should be
in /usr/include or /usr/include/sys.

Just present.

In the chrony configuration file you would have something like:
refclock PPS /dev/pps0 lock NMEA
refclock SHM 0 offset 0.5 delay 0.2 refid NMEA noselect
When chronyd has some NTP sources, you may want to tweak the offset
value of the SHM refclock so the measured offset as reported in
"chronyc sourcestats" is close to zero and the PPS signal can be
locked to it properly.

Not really. But the update process itself will depend on whether you
want to replace the packaged version or install the new version to
/usr/local. You may need to modify /etc/init.d/chrony so it starts the
right binary. The cleanest solution would be to rebuild the Debian
package with the new version.
