I agree that the current behaviour is probably wrong. I'm not sure if we
need more control here as Tomi suggests. My biggest concern is that
emacs.pc seems to be rather specific to fedora / redhat packaging, which
makes it hard for me to evaluate both the current handling and this
patch. Do any any Fedora users have opinions on just dropping the
handling of "pkg-config emacs"? Or am I missing other places that
pkg-config file is available?
