Package: libswe-dev
Version: 2.10.03-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

libswe-dev installs an empty directory /usr/lib/pkgconfig. This
directory is prone to loss due to us having implemented the /usr-merge
using aliasing.

libswe-dev was converted to multiarch and now ships its .pc file in
/usr/lib/<triplet>/pkgconfig. The empty directory is an artifact of an
incomplete conversion and can be deleted without loss of functionality.
What does not exist cannot be lost, so that solves the issue at hand.
I'm attaching a patch for your convenience.
