Agreed - do you have time to find out when the pkgconfig autoprovides went
into effect and put up a draft on the wiki?  Link it to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts

If all Fedora releases have the autoprovides but EL-5 is still affected, the
draft can be as simple as: rpm detects pkgconfig dependencies in all Fedora
releases, please move the pkgconfig requires from [LINK] to the EPEL
specific guidelines.
