I don't think it's a bug as such in either freetype219 or pkgconfig.
This was done at one point to allow peaceful coexistence of freetype2
and freetype219--freetype219 installed stuff in a private directory.

In current/unstable this is reversed now. The old freetype2 installs
in a private directory, and freetype219 installs in the main tree as
well as in its former private location, for compatibility:

$ dpkg -S freetype2.pc
freetype219: /sw/lib/freetype219/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc
freetype219: /sw/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc
