In fact, pkg-config doesn't seem to provide anything useful by itself:
$ apt-file show pkg-config
pkg-config: /usr/share/doc/pkg-config/changelog.Debian.gz
pkg-config: /usr/share/doc/pkg-config/changelog.gz
pkg-config: /usr/share/doc/pkg-config/copyright
pkg-config: /usr/share/lintian/overrides/pkg-config
Everything it provides is through the dependency on pkgconf, it seems.
Cheers,
Alex
