I'm trying to implement Multiarch for e2fsprogs, and there's one thing
which is confusing about the Multiarch wiki page at 

        http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation

and that's the correct location of pkgconfig files, which currently are
stored at /usr/lib/pkgconfig/<lib>.pc.   The Wiki page seems to imply
the correct location is /usr/lib/<triplet>/pkgconfig/<lib>.pc.   And
I've received patches that drop them there.

But my read of Debian policy and some mailing list archives seems to
imply that the -dev packages should *not* be modified for Multiarch
yet.   It would be nice if the Multiarch wiki page could give some
explicit guidance here.   It warns about how it's easy for -dev to use
the wrong location of the .pc file, but that's not surprising since it's
very vague about what exactly is the correct location.  :-(

Some assurance about whether or not pkg-config tool has been updated to
do the right thing might also be nice.

Thanks,

                                        - Ted
