If by 'optional dependencies' you mean assuming a feature provided by a

Neither of those would be appropriate in this case.
If the former is inappropriate, the latter is certainly appropriate.
However, if you'd like to improve the error message, that would
probably be a welcome change upstream. Upstream would be the place to
propose such a change (with a patch); it does not seem worth tracking
in Debian.
Feel free, but note that a bug in Debian's Linux does not necessarily
imply a bug in Linux upstream. Upstream may consider pkg-config as a
dependency, or may have implicit dependencies. However, I agree that a
change upstream sounds like the optimal way to fix.
