What problem are you trying to solve here?

We already know the values that pkg-config will return, so I fail to
see the advantage of calling pkg-config in the eclass.

If we were to move the /usr/lib/systemd directory between two versions
of systemd, then yes, using pkg-config would be helpful. Until/unless
such a change occurs, I just don't see the point.
