_If_ they do. Please consider the possibility that an application developer 
links to libbar without using pkg-config. pkg-config is _not_ part of an API, 
it is only a tool that _can_ be used, not must.
Putting pkg-config on Recommends of Suggests of every -dev packages that has 
a .pc file, you could as well put it into built-essential dependency.
