So in most cases where a package provides a *.pc file it should not be

"These days" translates to "Fedora >= 11". Packagers who push
mass-dist-updates
should not eliminate their manual "Requires: pkgconfig" yet.
The /usr/bin/* file entries can be found in the primary metadata, so
dependencies on them are not as expensive as other file paths.
