-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).

-Ignoring this policy can result in breakage for other distros and also breaks -the purpose of this interface, because it is not reliable anymore. -
