On my unstable box, only 5 pc files exist in /usr/share/pkgconfig.
There are two hundred in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/.
from man pkg-config:
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
PKG_CONFIG_PATH
A colon-separated (on Windows, semicolon-separated) list of directories to search
for .pc files. The default directory will always be searched after searching
the path; the default is libdir/pkgconfig:datadir/pkgconfig where libdir is the
libdir where pkg-config and datadir is the datadir where pkg-config was installed
So both are searched.
The Library Packaging Guide doesn't distinguish:

Personally, I always use /usr/lib/pkgconfig - that is where the
majority of pc files exist.
