The dependency is killed because it's useless. It's easy to kill, so we
do it. If you like to install the package because you want to build
stuff from git without killing the dependency from your sources, you're
free to install it on your system.
I don't see point in maintaining a package with just a 6-line .pc file.
That's also the reason why we don't maintain this package in extra or
any other binary repository, it's useless.
