It's not a mistake on your part - it just seems to be that a small number of packages install their .pc files to /usr/share instead. Looking at what they are, I suspect the common factor is that they're not libraries. Most pkgconfig files are there to provide info on how to compile and link against libraries, but most of the examples I can see in /usr/share are data - databases for MIME types, for ISO codes, or USB device ids. Arguably xtrans too, since that package contains only headers, no binary content. If this is a standard though, it doesn't seem to be clearly documented anywhere. Simon.
