I'm a bit worried about the pkg-config dependencies. Are we able to
turn this off if we need/want to?
The reason why is that installing a -dev package doesn't necessarily
mean you actually need/want pkg-config. I appreciate there is a .pc
file there, but just because you have a .pc file, it doesn't mean you
are going to need/want to use it.
Do you have any comparison of the dependencies before/after the change
and are there any other changes we need to be aware of?
Cheers,
Richard
