wrt. 5:
- upstream is relatively responsive, but I only ever sent one patch upstream
- pkg-config is not the only way they provide paths to developer apps, they also
have redland-config
- there is nothing as such wrong with installing headers in /usr/include, it is
merely a style issue.  While I personally much prefer projects that care about
these issues and use subdirectories, and do so in my own projects, it is IMO not
a requirement and not a maintainer's call to make.  I personally get hugely
annoyed when a downstream packager does something to one of my projects that
really should be the maintainer's call.  Changing stuff like this is a cost to
users/developers of the package that gets paid by the upstream maintainer, not
the packager.
- further examples of packages on my system that install headers in /usr/include
directly: gd, gmp, libidn, libjpeg, js, mx, openldap, libodbc, pilot-link,
libtiff, libtermcap, zlib
