 After some IRC discussion, this is not an option, and would violate the
 contract between the upstream .pc file authors and the upstream
 application developers trying to use these .pc files.

 Some other ideas revolving around pkg-config file syntax:
 <module>.pc:
    pyexecdir_python2.3=${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.3/site-packages
 pkg-config --variable=pyexecdir_python2.3 <module>

 <module>.pc:
    pyexecdir=${exec_prefix}/lib/${python}/site-packages
 pkg-config --define-variable=python=python2.4 --variable=pyexecdir <module>
 pkg-config --variable=pyexecdir <module>

 Or use a <module>-pythonXX.pc scheme.

 It's also possible to influence the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, eg.
 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkg-config/python2.3:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH in
 debian/rules.

 In the past, we would have had multiple -dev packages, conflicting with
 each other, but it's quite hard with the new pyversions stuff.
