That is a particularly bad idea. Downstream .pc files are a nuisance.
I agree, I never suggested doing this downstream. This kind of thing
needs to happen upstream so that other upstreams can start depending on
it.
A pkgconf file is very simple to add, it's the kind of a thing that
can be provided as a pull request by an external contributor, in particular
a downstream maintainer.
