I am subscribed of course ... Just I don't read a list on daily basis :(

Yes I recently started discusion on this topic:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2017-July/059503.html

My opinion is that we should make a consensus how to handle .pc/ and
document it on our wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging

I don't have strong opinion on this ... postclone works for me and it is
only solution I knew at the moment.
gitignore file disappears when I import new upstream version :(
