+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?
