Then the docs should be strengthened to state the case from the perspective of the provider
of the .pc and not the consumer of it:
Current:
"Fedora packages which use pkg-config to build against a library (e.g. 'foo') on which they depend,
SHOULD express their build dependency correctly as pkgconfig(foo)."
becomes:
"Build dependencies on Fedora packages which provide pkg-config files SHOULD be expressed
as pkgconfig(foo) and not foo-devel, whether the dependent package uses pkg-config or not."
