In the same, undocumented way it re-appeared in version 2.0.16-1.
OpenIPMIpthread.pc in version 2.0.14-1 includes the following:
Requires: OpenIPMI
[…]
Cflags: -I${includedir} -pthread
That's the way it's supposed to be (on Debian).
In version 2.0.16-1 this is (again):
Requires: OpenIPMI pthread
[…]
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Which does not work since there is no pthread.pc available in Debian.

This is still valid as well.
I've raised the severity since this issue makes the .pc files unusable
and breaks unrelated software (e.g. collectd FTBFS because of that).
This is trivial to fix. I'd really appreciate if you could take care of
it or tell us in case we're missing something.
Cheers,
Sebastian
