Package: libmpeg3-dev
Version: 1.8.dfsg-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

libmpeg3-dev installs an empty /usr/lib/pkgconfig. This directory is
prone to loss since we implemented the /usr-merge using directory
aliasing.

However, the directory is an artifact of an incomplete multiarch
conversion. The .pc file is now shipped in /usr/lib/<triplet>/pkgconfig.
The old location is no longer needed and what does not exist cannot be
lost. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience.
