It turns out that your patch to ship the generated pkgconfig files triggers the 
lintian error pkg-config-bad-directive:

The pkg-config file contains a wrong directive.

The following file includes a wrong directive. This could lead to   

FTBFS or leak private compile flags to another package.

I have reverted this change until I understand what's going on.
