It should be required only by packages that call pkg-config, not if they merely provide a .pc file.
From Fedora Guidelines: "Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must Requires: pkg-config (for usability)."
I think that's wise and we should follow that. Installed pkg-config is ~200kB on disk.
I don't see why they need to Require: pkg-config, they will work
perfectly fine without it so at most Recommends: pkg-config.
