Package: pkg-config
Version: 0.29-6
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
recent versions of pkg-config fail to work in cross builds targetting Windows,
so such cross builds no longer work for many users.
Error message when calling i686-w64-mingw32-pkg-config or
x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-config:
Please install dpkg-dev to use pkg-config when cross-building
A simple fix just removes the problematic lines (which I think were introduced
recently):

A better fix would skip the multiarch check for *-w64-mingw32 as I don't expect
that Debian will add multiarch support for *-w64-mingw32 in the near future.
Best regards
Stefan Weil
