Ive also bumped into this. I'm copying the bug report template from 
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies since this is a common 
issue:

"""
We are working on getting multiarch metadata correct throught the archive. 

This package needs to be marked 'Multi-Arch: foreign' for dependencies and 
build-depencies to work correctly in all cases. 

Any package 'X' build-depending on pkg-config cannot be cross-built because 
apt-get build-dep -a<arch> cannot satisfy X's build-dependencies until 

Multi-Arch: foreign 

is added to pkg-config's control file, to indicate that pkg-config from any 
available arch will satisfy the dependency.

See http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies and 'Dependencies 
involving Architecture: all packages' in the Multiarch Spec for further 
explanation.
"""

  By the way, I'd be more concerned that this package hasn't been updated 
since May 2011
