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.
