pkgconf ships /usr/bin/pkg-config.
Pkg-config binary missing from cross or native file, or env var undefined. Trying a default Pkg-config fallback at pkg-config Did not find pkg-config by name 'pkg-config'
This seems to be some other problem than the one you asked about.
So I'm asking: Is it normal that meson does not depend on `pkg-config` ?
Nothing should depend on the obsolete pkg-config package.
As a workaround, to build the Debian package, I put pkg-conig in the Build-Depends section of d/control.
Sounds like you haven't tried putting pkgconf there. -- WBR, wRAR
