Just to confirm, the directory is: /usr/share/pkgconfig/

Then you have a non-standard environment.

And just where have I made such an assumption? I'm asking pkg-config where
things should be put. That's doing it correctly. Are you suggesting that we
don't trust pkg-config?

By the way: I myself don't even use Debian or any of its derrivatives. Why did
you assume that I do?

If what's difficult? Concluding that pkg-config returns bad data? That
decision, at least for me, isn't difficult - it's impossible! It's the
responsibility of a distribution to define these things correctly.
