Well, the main point of pkg-config is not querying the version of a

That's the point, transitivity doesn't apply.
popt has no flags, links nothing else, all that is needed is -lpopt.
But I will apply the patch, easier than describing why pkg-config
is useless (and will remain useless forever) for popt.
