It adds -I flags, but no -L or -l flags.
Sure, it only adds -l and -L for static linking, because .a archives don't have any equivalent of ELF's DT_NEEDED. So if your libweston.so links to libpixman.so, you need to add pixman in Requires.private, because otherwise static linking of -lweston will fail with unresolved symbols from pixman. .la files were meant to solve this, but just introduced even more problems.
