My gut reaction was that the tag shouldn't have been emitted for this package at all. If the file was in /usr/share, or the package was arch:all, or the package was m-a:same, then yes; but neither was the case.
But then I realized that if a .pc file is directly in /usr/lib then pkg-config has no way of knowing which architecture this .pc is for.
So I wonder whether Lintian should suggest to move all .pc files to /usr/lib/<triplet>/, regardless of whether they hardcode architecture-specific paths or not. Contrary to what was said in #722609, it should normally be okay to do that even when the rest of the library lives directly in /usr/lib/.
