Yes, upstream should ;-)
I've also thought about reusing mozilla-plugin.pc which so it would be
transparent for the configure scripts but as long as xulrunner still
exists providing the same file they would conflict which also is not
really nice.

As I found no communication channel besides the issue tracker I just
filed a request to have a pkgconfig template in the sources to get a
strong argument for upstream maintainers to check for that.

Thanks for reminding me about that.
