Package: libbz2-dev

Unfortunately upstream bzip2 does not provide a pkg-config file for libbz2, 
which people who like pkg-config could use when compiling their software 
against libbz2.

For example, Fedora adds such a file, which they have called bzip2.pc, 
themselves in their RPM package: see 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1289576

Someone notes here that they made a similar request to upstream in December 
2015, but apparently without a response: 
https://github.com/libimobiledevice/sbmanager/issues/1#issuecomment-163919580

Please consider adding a local patch so that the Debian libbz2-dev package also 
provides a pkg-config file, bzip2.pc.

Thanks,

    John
