I kind of disagree with this. This is true that the guidelines say: "Fedora
packages which use pkg-config to build against a library" but the rationale
expressed below:

"Where package names change, and/or a required pkgconfig module is later
provided by a different package, these hard-coded dependencies break."

is true even if the package doesn't use it internally.
