A quick comment on this: if pkgconfig isn't an explicit dependency, what provides the ownership of the %{_libdir}/pkgconfig directory?
If all packages with .pc files omit the pkgconfig dependency, there will be nothing actually pulling in pkgconfig itself, will there?
RPM creates automatically a Requires: pkgconfig (actually, I think it is Requires: /usr/bin/pkg-config, which resolves to pkgconfig) for packages that contain .pc files. So the %{_libdir}/pkgconfig dir ownership is OK.
