[Fedora-packaging] pkgconfig dependency question

[Orion Poplawski]

After skimming some of the thread about .pc files in -devel or not, it 
seems like .pc files should be generating automatic dependencies.  Is 
that not correct?

I package plplot, and plplot-devel contains:

# cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/plplotd.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include/plplot
drvdir=${libdir}/plplot5.6.1/driversd

Name: PLplot
Description: Scientific plotting library (double precision)
Requires:
Version: 5.6.1
Libs: -L${libdir} -lplplotd  -L/usr/lib -lqhull -L/usr/lib -lcsironn 
-ldl -lm -L/usr/lib -lcsirocsa -lz -L/usr/lib -lfreetype
Cflags: -I${includedir}


But there are no dependencies on qhull-devel (via libqhull.so) and so 
forth.  Should there be?
