Bug#407528: packages containing .pc files should generally depend on pkgconfig



> Perhaps lintian could check for .pc files == pkgconfig as a standard

I started thinking about this some more and I'm not sure that I
understand.  Do we really need a dependency on pkg-config?  That would
imply that such a package won't function properly without pkg-config
available.  Or is this more of a Recommends or even Suggests sort of
thing?

How did the original problem manifest itself?
