True, I'm addressing mentality.

We've got two differing opinions on this, would anybody else like to
chime in?

I think that if the usual method of using a -devel package is by using its .pc file with pkgconfig, then pkgconfig should be a dependency of that package. If the .pc file is provided as a convenience but most users of a particular -devel package don't use it, then don't add the dep.
