Hum I see. However, the headers are located into include/visp/* and
not include/*
so still I think patching the .pc containing already
-I/usr/include/visp to append
-I/usr/include/`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH` is necessary...

Ok, then I will go with this. Thank you for your help and the links
