It's just about conceivable that wfmath-devel might someday not include a .pc
file and hence not require pkgconfig itself.

It's good practice that if your package requires something itself and not just
via a dependency (as would be the case if this package didn't ship a .pc file)
then the direct dependency should be added to your package.
