I downloaded the debian package of xfslibs-dev, built it, then
manually copied libhandle/libhandle.la into /lib and then I could build
xfstests-dev.

Please see https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval for a reason not to include the .la file. In fact, it is explicitly removed during the Debian package build. Most probably, you can configure xfstests-dev not to require a libhandle.la file.
