Well, it would be useful in the future, as some kind of proof that you had a look at it, and also to keep track if people wonder why it has been done like this. If there is a change in the future and something is not needed any more, this would then become clear simply by looking at the referenced .pc file. > But actually I don't really know.

If a header is needed, most of the time the library will also be mentioned in the .pc file. I will let you have a look at the glib-or-gtk-build-system question, and give us notice again when the next patches are ready. On the other hand, if there are mistakes, that would not be a big problem; when you notice in the end that something does not work, it will still be time to add (propagated or other) inputs. Thanks for all this work! Andreas
