I believe that from your own rule, stuff generated during build by

Unfortunately, `cargo package` includes everything in the working
directory that's not in .gitignore or explicitly excluded by Cargo.toml.
so there are many .crate packages containing unnecessary cruft.
If the idea is to provide a local replacement for the upstream crates.io
repository, then the important thing is that the contents of the .crate
packages match, so the contents hash the same and builds are reproducible.
You didn't cite a particular crate which is including .pc files, but
filing a bug with upstream to exclude them in Cargo.toml would be the
best way to address that.
