I think the right course is NOT to use the soname unless you think it's likely that people will want multiple versions of the -dev package around at once. In this case, the answer to that is "no". > So, opinion please. Should I use qof1.pc, qof-1.pc, libqof1.pc ?

My preference is to use the same name as the Debian package name, which makes it easy to avoid naming conflicts. Still, distributions should stick to the same names as other distributions for this, or else it isn't handy. So it's probably convenient to have upstream clearly name the file. Maybe check FHS?
