This is strictly speaking correct, but 1) needs to be accompanied by an effort
to make sure that no non-devel packages in the distro have a dependency on
pkgconfig, or 2) the aclocal macro in this package be split to pkgconfig-devel
subpackage.  Otherwise the end result is that a bunch of nontrivial dependencies
will be brought in to regular non-devel setups where they are useless bloat.

Currently examples of non-devel packages requiring pkgconfig include metacity,
gd, gnome-icon-theme and gnome-applets, and I'm sure there's a lot more.
