Hi,

You need to make it gracefully handle multiple packages providing the same
pkgconfig. Try this:
grep -v '^#' pkgconfig | cut -d\  -f1 | sort > pp1 
grep -v '^#' pkgconfig | cut -d\  -f1 | sort -u > pp2 

$ git diff pp1 pp2 | diffstat
 pp2 |   47 -----------------------------------------------
 1 file changed, 47 deletions(-)

The Lintian::Data object would only know about the latest package providing
each pkgconfig, which may result in false positives.

Cheers,
