Bug#539225: requesting pkconfig *.pc file check with special eye on multiarch
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.12
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
as a responce to introducing Multiarch to debian-devel it was
mentioned that pkgconfig does not (yet) suport *.pc files in multiarch
locations. I further discovered that *.pc files are in some library
packages instead of their -dev counterparts in violation of Policy
8.2.
Please create a check for *.pc files that they are in the right place
(/usr/lib/pkgconfig/) and right package (-dev).
