Bug#989958: libopencv-*-dev: Missing pkg-config file (.pc)

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

Control: severity -1 wishlist

You don't need to use pkg-config to build against an OpenCV module, just 
running gcc with the flags you need will work. Adjusting severity 
accordingly.

This sounds overly complicated to me. I think we should move all 
development files into one libopencv-dev if we want to fix this.
But that's choice of the maintainers.

Cheers Jochen
