Public bug reported:

While trying to use libmount-dev development files via pkgconfig I'm
getting error:

ruff@box:~/co/e17/efl$ pkg-config --cflags 'mount >= 2.20' 
Package blkid was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `blkid.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'blkid', required by 'mount', not found

The package appears to be listed in Requires.private field:
ruff@box:~/co/e17/efl$ grep blkid `dpkg-query -L libmount-dev | grep mount.pc`
Requires.private: blkid

At the same time required package is not listed in the dependencies:
ruff@box:~/co/e17/efl$ apt-cache show libmount-dev | grep Depend | tail -1
Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, libmount1 (= 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu2), uuid-dev
