Dear Maintainer,

In Debian bullseye, pkgconf would deduplicate -L options:

    # foo.pc
    libdir=/opt/lib

    Name: foo
    Description: The foo library
    Version: 1.0.0
    Requires.private: bar
    Libs: -L${libdir} -lfoo


    # bar.pc
    libdir=/opt/lib

    Name: bar
    Description: The bar library
    Version: 1.0.0
    Libs: -L${libdir} -lbar

    $ /bullseye/usr/bin/pkg-config --libs --static foo
    -L/opt/lib -lfoo -lbar


Since Debian bookworm, this is no longer the case:

    $ pkg-config --libs --static foo
    -L/opt/lib -lfoo -L/opt/lib -lbar


The version of pkg-config in Debian bookworm appears to be missing:
