Apart from that, it’s not part of pkg-config’s or pkgconf’s API upstream or in Debian. I think you can achieve what you’re trying to do without having to parse this file or knowing it exists at all. If you see it differently, please do explain why and how having this file is beneficial to what you do over other approaches (and I’m happy to be convinced!), but for now I’m going to mark this bug as wontfix. -- Cheers, Andrej
