I understand that suggesting pkg-config might reduce the prevalence of
this bug, but how would that solve it?
There is no solution to the problem of 'optional dependencies'; this is
the best you're going to get.

Ben.

If by 'optional dependencies' you mean assuming a feature provided by a package on which the dependency is not declared as absolute, there are certainly solutions; declare the dependency as absolute or stop assuming the feature's presence.

Note that the absence of a solution for a bug, even if it would be real, would not solve the bug.
