In practice, it is easy to put symlinks into %p/lib/pkgconfig. However, it can cause major problems for maintainers if they don't keep track of the different libav* packages that are actually needed. For example, it would be possible to have libavutil from 1.2 and libavcodec from 2.0 installed at the same time, and 'pkg-config --libs libavutil libavcodec' would then give this: -L/sw/lib/ffmpeg-1.2/lib -L/sw/lib/ffmpeg-2.0/lib -lavcodec -lavutil I'm kicking this out to fink-devel to see if someone has suggestions. Having libav*-dev pkgs Dep on other libav*-dev packages as needed would be nice, but that requires something similar to inherited builddepends and/or allowing BDO: true packages to be Depends: for other BDO: true packages.
