I don't.

pkgconf [1] is a valid replacement of pkg-config (by implementing it
with even more features and better .pc handling) and available on many,
if not all, distros (e.g. [2] [3] [4]). In some it is even the default
by now.

Additionally, this is all better, than relying on a convenience layer
hack job, such as the `freetype-config` script (that should've never
even been part of pkg-config to begin with).

Best,
David
