For example, when I write the configure checks for using system libs in OOo I simply use PKG_CHECK_MODULES(...) if it's there. Not packaging the .pc if it exists upstream would break them. If upstream hasn't one, well, if there's no -I and -L needed I don't see the point but when theer is either of them needed I would create one if there isn't already one or the old-style foo-config's...
