+<body>
+
+<p>
+Pkgconfig files (foo.pc) are common interfaces to standardize access to libraries
+across distros. It is important that these are never modified, created or renamed
+anywhere except upstream. Report bugs, write patches and send them upstream, but
+don't mess with them in your ebuild unless it's a trivial (like adding libsuffix)
+or unavoidable fix (which should be discussed with other devs first).</p>
+<p>
+Ignoring this policy can result in breakage for other distros and also breaks
+the purpose of this interface, because it is not reliable anymore.
