My simplistic understanding is that we ought to include
Requires.private dependencies in our -dev package dependencies. If you
disagree, could you ask other people, maybe the debian-devel list?

lowdown is 1 of only a few packages that were caught by the new
pkgconf upload and are preventing it from migrating to Testing. I
imagine there are quite a few other affected packages, but they don't
have autopkgtests.
