If you had a look into the OpenSceneGraph package's sources (which you
apparently didn't) you'd know that Fedora's OSG packages carries around
a different implementation of pkgconfig files commented out. If I'd
activate this, it would not help you much.
You are wanting me to adopt Debian's proprietary and isolated solution.

Wrong, I do not add them, because upstream decided to abandon them.

This is not correct.
1. I explicitly asked and warned in advance, but you did not answer.
2. I explicitly asked if somebody wanted backward compatible packages,
but you did not answer.

I had offered to implement them, but you did not answer. Now, we am
going the upstream path.

Not true.
Your packages require the pkgconfig files, because these package's
configure scripts carry bugs which prevent them from working without
them.
They expect OSG-1.2 compatibility and/or a Debian patched OSG-2.

Fix your packages, such they work without pkgconfig.
I had offered you to help you, but you did not answer.
