The bug above proposes to further split out this .pc file into a

installed on a user system, and no developer needing it would ever not
want the .pc files. So, what use is splitting out this .pc file?
This bug may be a misunderstanding of what the package actually does. Given that gapi is already a "-devel" type package, I think its acceptable to keep the pc file there.
OTOH, it could be argued that since it is already -devel type package, (with apparently no runtime/non-devel bits), then it's *name* should reflect that.

You mean we should call things gcc-devel, gdb-devel, valgrind-devel,
memprof-devel, nasm-devel, etc?

Sounds pretty silly to me.

Rhetorical: Is gcc, gdb, valgrind, nasm, memprof a subpackage of something else? (hint: no)
