I agree with the first two items (and the final item) in comment #9, however,
the Packaging Guidelines say:

The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase. Since they are
almost always used for development purposes, they should be placed in a -devel
package. A reasonable exception is when the main package itself is a
development tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb. 

about .pc files, and the Package Review Guidelines say:

SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and
this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg.
A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not
installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb. 

So while the requirement mentioned in comment #9 is perfectly reasonable, it
doesn't appear to be documented at all, so perhaps the docs need updating?
