Re: Box2D: providing .pc files even if upstream does not?

[Miriam Ruiz <miriam@debian.org>]

I still don't understand how it can be a problem for anyone to have something extra that you can choose to use or to ignore. Yeah, I probably can live with that, if it is so important. I just don't see the problem.

naďve question: can you get the advantages of .pc for building this
package by having it in the source but not distributing it in a binary
package? Or, alternatively, using a debian-prefix for the package name?
