Package: autogen Version: 1:5.18.12-3 Severity: normal While working on a way to automatically detect pkg-config dependencies, I noticed that autogen ships the pkg-config file autoopts.pc (for instance, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/autoopts.pc), which corresponds to the library in libopts25-dev. Please ship this pkg-config file in the libopts25-dev package, instead. That way, a package depending on libopts25-dev (and not autogen) will have the pkg-config file available, and a tool attempting to match pkg-config files with the corresponding library package can easily identify the correct package.
