So this contains packaging guidelines issue
- If FPC says "all packages which creates pkgconfig .pc file must
 have _Build_Requires: pkgconfig", then rpm-build (or buildsys) does not
 have to add pkgconfig dependency

- If FPC says no, then rpm-build or buildsys must have pkgconfig dependency

My current opinition is that rpm-build should have "Requires: pkgconfig"
because this affects even a small package and guideline changes due to this
issue will affect many packages.
