My thinking was to create patches which could be sent upstream as-is, rather than specifically targetting Debian (which is why I split the changes into two). However, given that imlib2 has had pkg-config support since 2003, I can't imagine upstream will mind removing the imlib2-config stuff altogether. I am in the process of creating a patch-set to update the autotooling for upstream; I shall update it as you suggest, and then update the Debian patches. Thanks for the info. J.
