I haven't done the research needed yet. Facts are welcome.

... I had thought that the stuff in .pc is necessary for dpkg-source
to be able to build the package, and unpack the result.
If I can feed a .pc-less source tree to dpkg-source -b and get
roughtly the right output then that would obviously be a big
improvement.
