Re debian, that's in the build-depends, not depends.

Looking at the distro policies:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
{{{
Depends
This declares an absolute dependency. A package will not be configured
unless all of the packages listed in its Depends field have
been correctly configured (unless there is a circular dependency
as described above).

The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package
is required for the depending package to provide a significant
amount of functionality.
}}}

Working my way through `apt-cache rdepends pkg-config` looking for a
notable ones, I'm not able to find any -dev package that has it as
Depends. Package linux-source-3.16 lists it as Suggests.
{{{
$ apt-cache show linux-source-3.16
Package: linux-source-3.16
Source: linux
Version: 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3
Installed-Size: 81627
Maintainer: Debian Kernel Team <debian-kernel@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Depends: binutils, bzip2
Recommends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc, make, bc
Suggests: libncurses-dev | ncurses-dev, libqt4-dev, pkg-config
}}}

The Redhat/Fedora guidelines are here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines

We provide the suggested pkgconfig() feature/flag, for other packages
requiring varnishapi.
{{{
[lkarsten@el7 ~]$ rpm -q --provides varnish-libs-devel
varnish-libs-devel = 4.0.3-1.el7.centos
varnish-libs-devel(x86-64) = 4.0.3-1.el7.centos
pkgconfig(varnishapi) = 4.0.3
varnishabi-strict-b8c4a34
varnishabi-1.2
}}}

On Debian:

{{{
$ apt-cache rdepends pkg-config | grep -- -dev | wc -l
265
}}}

Similar output for Ubuntu.

Correct.

When I did this this morning, I found that the list also included entries
with the package Suggest-ed.

I looked up a few of them, and didn't find much evidence of Requires. Did
you get different results than me?
