Package: pkg-config
Version: 0.22-1
Severity: normal
There are different libraries which uses glib2.0 for data definition and
internal. This means that they add glib2.0 to their required, but don't need
the glib2.0 for linking. It -lglib2.0 will be added and they would link
against it without really needing it. dpkg-shlibdeps will then print something
like
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libglib-2.0.so.0 could be avoided if
"debian/libxyz/usr/lib/libxyz.so.1.2.3.4" were not uselessly linked against it
(they use none of its symbols).
So the .pc of the package must be able to say "I want the Cflags stuff, but
not the Libs stuff" without duplicating the effort in glib-2.0.pc

They should user Requires.private rather than Requires, then, this is
what it does, so closing this bug.
