But there are actually cases where .pc files are being added in Fedora
packages, for reasons such as the upstream foo-config script not being
multilib-safe (so it gets replaced with multilibbed .pc files and a wrapper
foo-config script which just calls pkgconfig). There are also other reasons for
adding .pc files in the distribution.
That said, I do think this point needs to be taken upstream.
