This is true for the fast majority of cases. Specially where there is
only one provider of pkgconfig(foo).

But sometime there is a need for a compat library and then I don't
know if my package may uses the main library of the compat one.
pkgconfig(foo) will pick one or the other, but using the package name
is more deterministic to me.
