No.

If the library is exposed in Libs/Requires, then the client of shared
version libssh2 is becoming linked to this library, which is a bad thing
(e.g. see http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Overlinking ).

Right. I post here a discussion i had in the pkg-config list with the
same problem :

thanks Vincent.
I did for now just change to 'Requires.private' since only apps which link statically against libssh2 need the dependencies. Not sure if the hack what you suggested is needed - pkg-config 0.22 is close to 5 years out already, and IMO if some uses a version < 0.22 and this fails its probably a good reminder to the developer to update. One thing remains though: we do not yet cope with libz dependency. Shouldnt we have -lz with 'Libs.private:' when build with zlib?

Gün.
