A few folks who use cross-compilation in debian are CC'ed. At the
moment pkg-config cross wrapper does not add /usr/lib/pkgconfig to the
pkg-config's search path in cross-case.
This thus leads to configuration errors. E.g. if a correct arhicture
dev package installed (e.g. in amd64->armhf case, libfoo-dev:armhf)
but it's not multiarched, configuration will fail as
<trippler>-pkg-config will say that no such library is present. With
this change configuration & build will succeed.
If one has a wrong architecture package installed, currently
configuration will fail. With this change, the build stage will fail
(well, linking). And one gains cross-buildability of a lot of trivial
packages without multiarchifying them.
Thus actually I see no reason to not add /usr/lib/pkgconfig to the
search path in the cross-wrapper. Would others agree?

Well, if you take this patch by default enabling /usr/lib/pkgconfig
then dpkg-dev is not needed.
